This research project builds upon a quarter of a century of work examining the economics of European integration and subsequently Brexit. It examines the evidence relating to Brexit (i.e. trade, investment, regulation, migration and labour market factors, fiscal and broader economic policy options) evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the academic literature which has expanded rapidly on this topic. The project seeks to determine the likely economic impact arising from Brexit and indicate those areas where government policy can enhance future economic development post-Brexit.
