"Foreign-born UK residents are much more likely to be of working age than the UK-born — and thus less of a fiscal burden. They tend to be healthier than the UK-born, and are much more likely to have a university degree. 75% have lived in the UK for more than 5 years and 90% speak good English."

This post is for the skeptics who think this is not me. We took this picture in front of Walmart HQ in Bentonville. The idea is to show causality--the truck ran out of gas! I am in the back and I used this picture in a lecture for execs to show the power of causality.

Oxford never fails to surprise.

It has always been my ambition to push economics research to work at the frontier, producing evidence as the stories unfold. Brexit is one such story. As part of the brexitcost.org project we are measuring and exploring the cost of Brexit across constituent regions in the UK. Small thread ⬇️
