Heleen Mees (born Heleen Nijkamp, 1968, Hengelo, Overijssel, Netherlands) is a Dutch economist and opinion writer. She was Adjunct Associate Professor of Economics at Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service in New York City until July 2013. Before that, Mees was Assistant Professor in Economics at Tilburg University in Tilburg, Netherlands and a researcher at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Her research focuses on monetary policy and the macroeconomic consequences of the rise of China and other emerging economies. The central theme of her 2012 PhD thesis is that China's boom caused the financial crisis and ensuing economic recession. She has a doctorate from Erasmus University Rotterdam.
Mees is a contributor to Project Syndicate and Financial Times Economist Forum. Her work has also been published in The Financial Times, The New York Times, Foreign Policy and Le Monde. From 2006 to 2010, she was columnist for NRC Handelsblad and then for Het Financieele Dagblad. In 2009, Mees was a TV host on VARA, a Dutch public broadcasting association. Mees is the author of three books; her latest, 'Between Greed and Desire – The World between Wall Street and Main Street,' was published in 2009.
In July 2013, Mees was arrested in New York on charges of stalking her former lover, the head economist of Citigroup, Willem Buiter. In March 2014, Mees was sentenced to therapy and if she successfully completes one year of probation, the charges against her will be dropped.
Mees lives in Brooklyn, New York.
