only there are several studies like this: "These estimates suggest that by 2025, Brexit had reduced UK GDP by 6% to 8%" https://www.nber.org/papers/w34459

If you read them carefully, you'll find no such studies are using a valid methodology. It's not a hard question to answer either, just compare like with like.
If there are no valid studies, you can't say Britain didn't suffer any economic damage from leaving the EU, because you can't possibly know that.
Only if you accept the strange premise that nothing is knowable unless some academic formats it in a PDF?
It's easy to find things out without needing a study. Just look at the data yourself. It's not telling a complex story.
