    LONDON’S GLOBAL UNIVERSITY THE PROCESS OF BREXIT: WHAT COMES NEXT? Alan Renwick Co-published with: Working Paper January 2017 All views expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the UCL European Institute. © Alan Renwick (Image credit: Way out by Matt Brown; CC BY 2.0) The Process of Brexit: What Comes Next? Alan Renwick* * Dr Alan Renwick is Deputy Director of the UCL Constitution Unit. THE PROCESS OF BREXIT: WHAT COMES NEXT? DR ALAN RENWICK Executive Summary The phoney war around Brexit is almost over. The Supreme Court has ruled on Article 50. The government has responded with a bill, to which the House of Commons has given outline approval. The government has set out its negotiating objectives in a White Paper. By the end of March, if the government gets its way, we will be entering a new phase in the Brexit process. The question is: What comes next? What will the process of negotiating and agreeing Brexit terms involve? Can the government deliver on its objectives? What role might parliament play? Will the courts intervene again? Can the devolved administrations exert leverage? Is a second referendum at all likely? How will the EU approach the negotiations? This paper – so far as is possible – answers these questions. It begins with an overview of the Brexit process and then examines the roles that each of the key actors will play. The text was finalised on 2 February, shortly after publication of the government’s White Paper. Overview: Withdrawing from the EU Article 50 of the EU treaty sets out a four-step withdrawal process: the decision to withdraw; notification of that decision to the EU; negotiation of a deal; and agreement to the deal’s terms.

  • Introduction Campaigning for Britain’S Continued Membership
    Ahead of a British referendum on EU membership, to be held by the end of 2017, DeHavilland's UK and EU teams are pleased to present a series of briefings exploring the key aspects of the process.

    Diversity in Innovation Paul A. Gompers Sophie Q. Wang Working Paper 17-067 Diversity in Innovation Paul A. Gompers Harvard Business School Sophie Q. Wang Harvard University Working Paper 17-067 Copyright © 2017 by Paul A. Gompers and Sophie Q. Wang Working papers are in draft form. This working paper is distributed for purposes of comment and discussion only. It may not be reproduced without permission of the copyright holder. Copies of working papers are available from the author. Diversity in Innovation* Paul A. Gompers Harvard Business School and NBER [email protected] Sophie Q. Wang Harvard University [email protected] January 2017 Abstract In this paper we document the patterns of labor market participation by women and ethnic minorities in venture capital firms and as founders of venture capital-backed startups. We show that from 1990-2016 women have been less than 10% of the entrepreneurial and venture capital labor pool, Hispanics have been around 2%, and African Americans have been less than 1%. This is despite the fact that all three groups have much higher representation in education programs that lead to careers in these sectors as well as having higher representation in other highly-compensated professions. Asians, on the other hand, have much higher representation in the venture capital and entrepreneurial sector than their overall percentages in the labor force. We explore potential supply side explanations including both education attainment as well as relevant prior job experience. We also explore the correlation between diversity and state-level variations. Finally, we discuss how these patterns are consistent with homophily-based hiring and homophily-induced information flows about career choices.
