#2: Brexit Strategy - Prof. Edgar Morgenroth (DCU)
Episode 2 of the Irish Economics Podcast addresses the strategy behind the Brexit decisions. Edgar Morgenroth, professor of economics at DCU joins as we discuss Brexit decision making from the beginning. Was Brexit inevitable, given anti-EU sentiment, or could David Cameron have taken a different approach? How much of Theresa May's woes were down to poor decision-making and how much was down to being faced with a problem that has no solution? And what is Boris Johnson's strategy, an especially curious question given his recent actions. We probe the strategy behind the decisions and try to place a likelihood on various potential outcomes.
Edgar has carried out a number of research projects assessing the impacts of a no-deal Brexit and we discuss these at the end. If you would like to know more, I have included links to various papers on the website http://www.IrishEconPod.com.
