Bipul Verma

I am a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Minnesota. I am on the job market for the 2025/26 academic year.

 My research interests lie at the intersection of Growth, Development Economics, Spatial Economics, Education, and Macro Labor. My research combines causal inference techniques with structural macroeconomic models to answer fundamental questions about economic development and inequality. I am particularly interested in understanding how human capital, spatial frictions, and institutional factors shape economic growth and the distribution of economic outcomes across regions and individuals.
