Chris Giles from the Financial Times looks at some of the assumptions behind the recent analysis from the Treasury and the Bank of England on the likely macroeconomic impact of Brexit. He argues that the forecasts help us to think about the biggest question - is Brexit really worth the pain to come? I offer a strong recommendation for students to follow Chris Giles on Twitter - your macro general knowledge and analytical awareness will grow!
