Even Brexit backers can’t make the sums work for UK to quit EU

...research which seems to come from the other camp. Previous research estimates that UK’s GDP would be 2.25% lower as a consequence of EU withdrawal. Recent research estimates the benefits from EU membership to be of the order of 12% in GDP per person terms.
