Abstract

This chapter examines the range of studies that have been produced to predict the likely economic impact of Brexit. It considers the suggestion that a broad consensus exists amongst economists, that Brexit would prove damaging to the UK economy, and notes that this claim was based primarily upon a small sub-set of studies rather than reflecting the more complicated range of forecasts produced by economists more generally. This chapter examines the methodologies adopted by this group of more influential studies and highlights a number of flaws which have weakened the robustness and reliability of their conclusions.
