COEP Replication Package for "Business as Usual? Unravelling the Impact of Brexit on UK-EU Business Links"

<div>We present the first systematic evidence on the impact of Brexit on the business links between the UK and the EU through the lens of international visits. We find important asymmetry in the direction of changes in business visits between the two regions following the referendum. Specifically, we observe a significant drop in EU-to-UK trips, while UK-to-EU trips increased noticeably after the vote. These results support the claim that Brexit has made the UK less attractive to EU businesses, but also reveal that UK businesses are investing more in their relationships with EU partners to offset the uncertainty.</div>
