A November 2025 NBER working paper by researchers including Nicholas Bloom of Stanford and Philip Bunn of the Bank of England estimates Brexit reduced UK GDP per capita by 6-8% by 2025, with investment 12-18% lower, employment 3-4% lower, and productivity 3-4% lower than a no-Brexit scenario. Pro-EU figures like Carl Bildt called the loss huge, while critics such as Andrew Neil dismissed the counterfactual as nonsense, pointing to UK's solid growth against peers like France and Germany from 2015-2020. The debate highlights ongoing divides, as even the authors note caveats like COVID effects, amid broader frustrations over stagnant standards.

Key Takeaway

Economists pored over a decade of data to measure Brexit's toll, finding UK living standards lagging what they might have been without the vote.
