The costs associated with inflation are as follows: Anticipated Inflation: This is by now well-understood. In a host of monetary models, inflation causes price distortions that misallocate resources. These distortions are associated with the use of non-interest-bearing money as a medium of exchange.
While the costs of hyperinflation are enormous and obvious, the smaller costs associated with more mild inflation are more subtle and more difficult to measure. Inflation of 10 percent, for example, results in a misallocation of resources (shoe-leather costs) that amounts to somewhere between 1 and 2 percent of GDP. Costs of an inflation rate of 3 percent are about half a percent of GDPâapproximately $40 billion.
