Jan-Emmanuel De Neve (born 14 March 1979) is a Belgian economist and University of Oxford professor where he directs the Wellbeing Research Centre. He is known for his research on the economics of wellbeing[1][2] which has led to new insights into the relationship between wellbeing and income,[3] productivity,[4][5] firm performance,[6] and economic growth.[7][8]

He is also the KSI Fellow and Vice-Principal of Harris Manchester College.[9] De Neve is also an editor of the World Happiness Report[10] and co-founder of the World Wellbeing Movement.[11][12]

De Neve and Sonja Lyubomirsky currently guide the development of the world’s largest study on wellbeing at work for the global job search site Indeed with over 15 million surveys completed so far.[13][14][15]

De Neve and Richard Layard co-authored the first major textbook on wellbeing science. It was published in 2023 by Cambridge University Press and hailed by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman as the "best book I have read in a long time - a fountain of knowledge and an inspiring call to action."[16][17] The book is made freely available by way of open access and has been illustrated by visual artist David Shrigley.[18]
