While the result of the vote was a great disappointment, I am hopeful that the economics community will continue to speak out on this issue and contribute to the debate on what our post-Brexit future will look like. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to the fundraising drive for publishing the statement. The funding drive is now closed and it has made an enormous difference in defraying my personal cost for the ad. I have been very gratified by the generosity and support of so many colleagues. With best regards, Eric

As you saw the ad came out on Tuesday and we're continuing to update the website with signatures. While the mainstream media largely ignored the letter (experts are unfashionable right now), there has been good social media pick-up and the Telegraph reports 1.9 million ad impressions. So please keep Tweeting, sharing on Facebook, emailing to friends etc. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Thanks to everyone who is supporting this. The statement has now been signed by 12 Nobel laureates and over 150 UK economists!
