Leaving the European Union would likely have a significant negative impact on the UK?s economy

Gianmarco I. P. Ottaviano, Thomas Sampson and John Van Reenen


How would leaving the EU affect the UK's economy? Gianmarco Ottaviano, Joao Paulo Pessoa, Thomas Sampson and John Van Reenen outline findings from a new report on the economic consequences of a Brexit. They indicate that if the UK left the European Union there would likely be a significant negative impact on the economy, with the most important cost emerging as a result of lower trade with the EU due to greater non-tariff barriers.
