Brexit was a wake-up call for the UK and the EU. There is a growing body of evidence that the referendum results contributed to an increase in economic policy uncertainty and financial stress (including systemic stress) in the UK. In this chapter, I present the findings of a panel study designed to estimate the impact of economic policy uncertainty and financial stress in the UK on bilateral exports of goods. Using the panel data gravity model of international trade, I found that economic policy uncertainty in the UK negatively affects bilateral exports of goods, which is consistent with my expectations. The results for financial and systemic stress are not statistically significant.
