Talk:Economic effects of Brexit

Comparison of predictions with actual results
It would be very interesting to compile a collection of predictions made in 2015, 2016, 2017 and so on with what actually happened. The Treasury, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, the ONS, the European Council, Vote Leave and so on made many predictions about immigration, crime rates, economic growth, trade figures, investment figures, FDI both inbound and outbound, and security. Now we're in 2022 and have moved beyond the 1-5 year predictions. Who was right and who was wrong? The reason this is relevant is that many of those same sources are used for future predictions in this article. --Bacon Man (talk) 16:35, 8 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I agree. There's very little in the article nearly two years after Brexit of what did happen.  It's early but the article is about the economic effects of Brexit.  How can the article be about the effects if it's 90% predictions of what will happen?  Dbroer (talk) 20:35, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Brexit will cost 4 billion euros each year to French companies

Inaccurate summaries of economists' assessments
An editor has added text on the economic effects of Brexit, which violates WP:NPOV and also features considerable WP:OR. For an accurate summary of the academic literature on this subject, see this which should perhaps be imported in full to this article. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:35, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It looks like user:Karlleni97 is new to wikipedia. Generally we should be inviting to new users and encourage them to participate in improving wikipedia. They originally added the content without citations, but now citations have been added, you can challenge the text based upon the underlying sources if you think it is needed (preferably by discussion on the talk page).

 * I'd have to dispute the claim based on the sources cited, unfortunately it seems as if citation 1 is in reference to a panel of 88 economists, many of which have indicated low or middling confidence for their agree or strongly agree statements regarding negative impact on GDP or that it would be better in the EU. Citation 3 is a link to a The Guardian article which is based on citation 5, in which only 17% of the 6300 economists they invited to respond responded, confidence is not known. Citation 4 is a single study from one academic. I think it's fair to say this doesn't suggest a consensus amongst economists at large. BilliamLumbergh (talk) 13:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Yellowhammer Report
It talks about the "consequences of Brexit" but no mention to the Yellowhammer report disclosed by the government on the immediate impact of Brexit to the British economy. It should be included somehow.--JoaoPillon (talk) 10:39, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Article name - Just the 2016/17 debate??
The article name would indicate that it's an ongoing update, while the introduction and contents seem to impose a much stricter limit. "The economic effects of Brexit were a major area of debate during and after the referendum on UK membership of the European Union." 220.240.166.169 (talk) 06:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
