Discussing the economic impact of Brexit ten years after the vote
Professor Paul Mizen presented the findings of his research on the economic impact of Brexit at an event co-organised with King’s College, Cambridge, the University of Cambridge Economics Faculty and the Janeway Institute.
While ‘Macroeconomic Effects of Geopolitical Shocks and Uncertainty - Ten Years from the Brexit Referendum’ focussed on Brexit, the conference also presented other research expanding our understanding of other economic shocks arising from broad geopolitical uncertainty.
Professor Mizen’s research, conducted with colleagues from Stanford University, the Bank of England and the University of Nottingham found that Brexit has left the UK economy significantly smaller than it would otherwise have been.
Drawing on almost a decade of economic data and evidence from one of the UK’s largest surveys of senior executives, the Decision Maker Panel (DMP), the study estimates that by early 2025 GDP in the UK economy was between 6 and 8 per cent below its pre-Brexit level.
The event also included a panel session exploring where the UK stands today and how it can move forward.
