Hélène Rey Hélène Rey is a French economist and professor known for empirical and theoretical work on international finance, cross-border capital flows, and financial crises. She holds professorships and research positions that connect London School of Economics, Princeton University, and Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, and her work has influenced policymakers at institutions such as the Bank of England, European Central Bank, and International Monetary Fund.
Born in Île-de-France, she studied at Lycée Louis-le-Grand before entering École Normale Supérieure (Paris), where she trained alongside scholars associated with École Polytechnique and Collège de France. She earned degrees from Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and completed doctoral studies that connected to research networks at London Business School and visiting programs at Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
She began her career with appointments at Princeton University and Toulouse School of Economics, collaborating with faculty linked to Stanford University, Yale University, and Columbia University. Later she joined London School of Economics as a professor, affiliating with research centers tied to Centre for Economic Policy Research, National Bureau of Economic Research, and European Central Bank research initiatives. She has held visiting positions and given seminars at institutions including Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, New York University, University of California, Berkeley, and Bank for International Settlements.
Her research spans international macroeconomics and international finance, addressing topics such as global imbalances, sovereign risk, external adjustment, and financial intermediaries. She developed influential frameworks on the global financial cycle, connecting asset-price comovements across markets like United States bond markets, Eurozone sovereign spreads, and United Kingdom capital flows, with empirical links to episodes such as the Global Financial Crisis (2007–2008), the European sovereign debt crisis, and cross-border banking stresses involving Spain, Greece, and Ireland. Her theoretical contributions draw on general equilibrium models and imperfect information approaches used by scholars at MIT, Princeton University, and University of Chicago. Empirical work employs datasets from Bank for International Settlements, IMF, and World Bank to trace capital flow dynamics and designate safe-assets, connecting to policy debates relevant to the Federal Reserve System, European Central Bank, and Bank of England. She has collaborated with researchers associated with NBER, CEPR, Centre for Economic Policy Research, and economists such as those from Columbia Business School and Harvard Kennedy School.
Her distinctions include the Yrjö Jahnsson Award from the European Economic Association, fellowship of the British Academy, and national honors including knighthood in the Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur. She has been elected to academies and societies that include Académie des sciences morales et politiques and has received recognition from institutions such as CNRS and ANR-funded research programs. Internationally, she has been listed among influential economists recognized by outlets and organizations linked to Financial Times, The Economist, and Le Monde.
She frequently testifies and advises policymakers at the Bank of England, European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund, and French Ministry of Economy and Finance. Her public-facing work includes lectures at policy forums like the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium, panels at the World Economic Forum, and contributions to deliberations at the G20 and ECB Forum on Central Banking. She has been quoted in media outlets such as Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, Le Monde, The New York Times, and The Economist on subjects including sovereign risk, capital-flow management, and macroprudential regulation tied to institutions like the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Her notable articles appear in journals and collections produced by publishers and institutions such as American Economic Review, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Journal of Political Economy, Review of Economic Studies, Journal of International Economics, and Economic Policy. She serves or has served on editorial boards connected to journals affiliated with NBER, CEPR, and major academic presses including Oxford University Press and Cambridge University Press. Her coauthored works and chapters address topics spanning sovereign debt, capital-flow volatility, and systemic risk, cited alongside the work of scholars from Harvard University, Princeton University, University of Chicago, Yale University, and Stanford University.
