This paper examines the impact of the 2016 UK referendum and expecting Brexit on migration flows and net migration in the UK as well as on the attractiveness of other EU countries as destinations. We employ a difference-in-differences strategy and compare EU migration to non-EU migration before...

This paper is the first attempt to study the causal impact of "Brexit", namely the UK's departure from the European Union (EU), on the post-graduation mobility decisions of EU students in the UK. We exploit the British government's formal withdrawal notification under Article 50 as a natural...
