Seeing what's happened in the UK, I'd expect European economy to collapse. Long-term, it would heal, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens with the UK to know whether it would heal to the level it was at before leaving the EU. Another consequence I can see is Russia's influence in Europe rising, because negotiating with a big and powerful union is probably much more difficult than negotiating with weaker individual states.
