Letter to friends: this is why I will vote Remain in the referendum

The LSE’s Nicholas Barr explains why he will be voting to Remain in the EU referendum – citing a wide range of arguments about sovereignty, migration, international influence, regulation, democracy, trade and the single market to make his case. He concludes the economic and foreign policy costs of leaving are large, and the gains in sovereignty in today’s connected world are limited.

Nicholas Barr is Professor of Public Economics at the European Institute, London School of Economics.
