Brexit: why, what next and how?

There are still many unknowns about how Britain will go about disengaging itself from the EU, the timetable and what the most likely outcome will be, and what it will imply for the future of European integration.

In this paper, published in the CESifo Forum, Professor Iain Begg, senior fellow The UK in a Changing Europe, looks at the economics of Brexit, considers why the referendum resulted in the vote to leave and explores what the ramifications are for both Britain and the future of the European Union.
