## Resource

On June 23, 2016, 51.9 percent of British voters chose to leave the European Union in a referendum that was legally advisory and politically irreversible. The betting markets had put the odds of Leave winning at thirty percent. The prime minister who called the vote resigned the morning after. The immediate market panic was shorter-lived than predicted. The structural damage that followed was worse than the models calculated. A decade later economists estimate Brexit reduced UK GDP by 6 to 8 percent compared with what it would have been had Remain won.
