The economic case for British membership of the EU has always rested on the country’s participation in the single market. After British Prime Minister David Cameron pledged a referendum on the UK’s continued membership of the EU, the CER invited leading economists, commentators, business people and EU experts to form a commission to consider the economic consequences of leaving the EU. Commissioners shared ideas and advice in a series of commission meetings, and commented on drafts of the final report.
