This is an effort that has been underway since 2020. The story of Brexit has not ended as the world is in unchartered territory. Economic and political cooperation to solve transnational challenges are more important than ever. A longer 🧵 on the results bsky.app/profile/elea...

🧵 New working paper out today: "Measuring the Regional Economic Cost of Brexit: Evidence as of 2026" with @jacobedenhofer.bsky.social @trfetzer.com & Shizhuo Wang Here's what the data say about who paid the price in these 10 years from the referendum 1/…

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 over the last decade

This is a heck of a thread with a 👀 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 down'

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland is one of the hardest hit regions w ~9% GVA loss by 2023 The biggest sectors (whisky & food, oil & chemicals, professional services) make up 44% of its EU exports. Brexit erected barriers across all of them. And Scotland didn’t vote for this... brexitcost.org/itl1/TLM.htm... 4/...

Brexit has cost the UK economy roughly 7-8% and the effects were more severe in Scotland and London, two regions which did not vote for Brexit: “Brexit was a levelling up by levelling down”

Britain did become more economically equal as a result of Brexit. By levelling down. Presumably, this is a good thing, if you are into the Spirit Level and all that?

Great piece by @eleala.bsky.social et al (2026) "Measuring the Regional Economic Cost of Brexit: Evidence as of 2026" Boris Johnson wanted to level up the UK. Brexit has achieved the opposite ... say the authors put it “levelling up by levelling down” @jdportes.bsky.social @profjacob.bsky.social

Genuinely fascinating to see how both London and Scotland bear the biggest economic hit from Brexit and the extent to which Single Market access ameliorates that
