Thiemo Fetzer 🇪🇺🇺🇦 - same handle elsewhere @fetzert

Methodologically, the estimates on the cost of Brexit despite the heterogeneity point all in a similar direction. There are a few notable outliers, in particular the pro Brexiteer optimism. There is also a notable trend: estimates point to some form of compounding. For local...

This paper is obviously relevant today, as we mark the 10th anniversary of Brexit, but I don't want to add to the plethora of takes on current events. Instead, let me zoom out and disucss the (fairly nuanced) implications of our analysis both for understanding British politics

Its now ten years since the UK voted narrowly to Leave the European Union. I have studied how the UK got there through my research for many years now. Evidence is growing that the UK is indeed leveling up, but, by leveling down. Let me introduce the Brexit Cost project:

Absolutely fascinating new analysis of Brexit harms from economists at Oxford, Warwick and NYU. There have been so many now.

London is the UK region most damaged by Brexit. It’s time to rethink our relationship with Europe.

🏙️ London takes the single largest hit: ~£70bn GVA loss in 2023 alone, or around 12% below counterfactual The TCA imposed full third-country status on the UK for services, i.e., financial and professional services lost single-market access, hitting London the hardest

🚨 🚩 This is a really important paper. Key finding: Brexit has cost the UK economy 7–8% of GVA by 2023 and the pain hasn’t been evenly shared. London took the biggest single hit (12% below counterfactual), largely bc financial and professional services lost Single Market access. Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was also very hard hit. Meanwhile, areas that voted most heavily for Leave have not suffered the largest economic costs. The correlation is actually weakly negative As the authors put it: “Brexit was a levelling up by levelling down.” Northern Ireland is the clear outlier, the one part of the UK that kept close alignment with the EU Single Market has done far better.

Narrative violation: Brexit hurt relatively more the places that voted remain. If the median voter sufficiently hates regional inequality (even if it makes everyone is poorer), then Brexit was a rational and informed choice.

The political economy punchline? Areas that voted most strongly for Leave have not suffered the largest economic costs. The correlation is weakly negative as Remain-voting areas (London, Scottish cities, university towns) bore the brunt Brexit was a levelling up by levelling
