Sparsh Sinha

I am a fourth-year PhD Candidate in the J.B. Hunt Department of Supply Chain Management at the University of Arkansas. My research focuses on the intersection of public policy and global supply chain management. I employ qualitative and econometric methodologies in my research, driven by the problems I am interested in. The aim of my research is twofold; to understand how firms build durable supply chains under shifting policy conditions, and to identify how the policymakers can effectively design legislation targeting supply chain operations.

I also enjoy synthesizing novel datasets to augment my research, such as a categorized dataset of all U.S. legislations targeting supply chain management, and a dataset comprising daily price history for over 100,000 unique products in the trading card industry.
