New economic model links AI inference costs to inflation and monetary policy

Researchers have developed a new economic theory and model called the Inference-Cost Phillips Curve (ICPC) to analyze the impact of AI inference costs on inflation and monetary policy. This model augments the traditional New Keynesian Phillips curve by incorporating a specific AI inference component into firms' marginal costs. The study uses U.S. monthly data from 2022 to 2026 to estimate the model's parameters, finding empirical results consistent with its theoretical predictions. AI

IMPACT This research provides a framework for understanding how AI inference costs could influence inflation and guide central bank policy responses.

    The Economics of AI Inference: Inflation Dynamics, Welfare Costs, and Optimal Monetary Policy under the Inference-Cost Phillips Curve

    arXiv:2605.20281v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We develop a unified microeconomic and monetary theory of artificial intelligence inference costs and their pass-through to inflation, welfare, and optimal monetary policy. We introduce the Inference-Cost Phillips Curve (I…
