OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The lecture considers the process of the Brexit decision and negotiations from the time the decision was made to hold a referendum to when Parliament made one of the most far-reaching decisions in generations. The lecturer considers some general principles of rationality and reviews how some basic concepts in economics can illuminate the nature and procedures of the decision-making process by voters, politicians and government and EU negotiators. The focus on rationality concerns the process of decision-making rather than the actual decisions. Although a decision-making process may have elements of irrationality this does not necessarily mean that the final decision is irrational.
