Financial Times:
Economists point finger of blame over Brexit forecasts
10 April 2017
On Monday, Swati Dhingra of the London School of Economics told the Royal Economic Society annual conference that most academic economists had predicted a 1-3 per cent fall in economic output by five years after Britain left the EU and a fall of anything from 2 to 8 per cent after 15 years.Short-term forecasts from the Treasury and private-sector economists had been wrong, she said, adding that 'those are the economists that have many different kinds of financial incentives and political constraints'.
