I think you have that assumption back to front.

What ever you may want to think, 2.25% is the projected permanent loss
we would suffer, according to the National Institute of Economic and
Social Research, largely due to the loss of foreign direct investment.

I wonder who funds the National Institute of Economic and Social
Research...

Oh look

"Although we are a charity and our ultimate purpose is to inform the
public debate, we receive little or no core funding from government or
other sources. Instead, we carry out research commissioned from a
variety of sources: *government departments and agencies*, the research
councils, particularly the *Economic and Social Research Council*, the
*European Commission*, charitable foundations, and the private sector.
We are partners in two ESRC research centres (LLAKES and the Institute
for Macroeconomics). We frequently work in partnership with experts in
universities and other research institutes on larger projects. "

Same old same old EU and government funding machine via the universitoes
and the LSE etc etc.



...and how they missed the extra exports we would make to the rest of
the world.

Some of which isn't broke and busted.
