Do you mean a specific secession (or attemp)? Or the concept in general?

The concept in general.

I don’t know of any works on the economics of whole territories seceding. Closest I can think of is Benjamin Powell’s book The Economics of Immigration. It details the boon that would come from opening borders—effectively allowing people to secede individually.
