Researchers at the Centre for Economic Performance of the London School of Economics say the referendum results led to a 12% increase in foreign direct investment transactions from the UK to the EU between mid-2016 and September 2018.
This translates into an increase of about 8.3 billion pounds, totally concentrated in services.
Although the authors are not sure whether this will be spent in the UK, they cite business investigation evidence and media reports suggesting that expenditure is often at the expense of the UK.
On the contrary, the study points out that investment transactions from the European Union to the United Kingdom have fallen by 11 per cent, with a value of about 3.5 billion pounds.
Thomas Sampson, one of the report's authors, said: "Data show that Britain's exit from Europe makes Britain a less attractive place to invest." "Lower investment will hurt the economy, which means that British workers will miss out on new jobs."
London and Brussels are debating whether the November deal can be changed, increasing the possibility of a last minute trade or no exit until Britain withdraws from Europe.
Britain voted in a 2016 referendum for 52% to 48% of the EU to withdraw from the EU.
Supporters of Britain's de-Europeanization point out that after the referendum in June 2016, economists'general forecast of economic recession failed to materialize and that Britain will be able to trade with faster-growing economies outside the EU.
Researchers said Monday that there was no sign that British companies had invested in developed countries outside the European Union in preparation for Britain's exit.
