The New York Times:
Uncertain economics influence 'Brexit' talk

2 April 2016

The Center for Economic Performance, at the London School of Economics, which sees itself neutral, says the worst-case scenario in the event of a vote to leave the bloc is a 6.3 percent to 9.5 percent reduction in G.D.P., ''a loss of a similar size to that resulting from the global financial crisis of 2008/09.'' The best case, it suggests, is a loss of 2.2 percent of G.D.P., with the European Union imposing costs on Britain for leaving, and to discourage others from doing so.
