8th ANNUAL RESEARCH CONFERENCE Economics of Artificial Intelligence

The 8th Annual Research conference takes stock on the growing incidence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and on its applications in economic analysis. The use of AI is expanding in labour and credit markets, with important consequences on productivity and on financial stability. AI tools also uncover novel results regarding the impacts of monetary policy, the interactions between asset returns and wealth inequality, inflation forecasting and central bank communication.
