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 also the KSI Fellow and Vice-Principal of Harris Manchester College, one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford.[1] He is known for his research on the economics of wellbeing[2][3] which has led to new insights into the relationship between wellbeing and income,[4] productivity,[5][6] firm performance,[7] and economic growth.[8][9]

De Neve is the co-editor of the World Happiness Report,[10] which is a publication of the Wellbeing Research Centre in partnership with Gallup and the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.[11] De Neve is also the co-founder of the World Wellbeing Movement.[12][13]

De Neve currently guides the development of the world’s largest study on wellbeing at work in collaboration with the global job search site Indeed with over 25 million surveys completed so far.[14][15][16] Their workplace wellbeing survey approach has been widely adopted including by S&P Global as part of the annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment underpinning ESG ratings.[17]

De Neve and Richard Layard co-authored the first major textbook on wellbeing science. It was published in 2023 by Cambridge University Press and praised 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."[18][19] The book is made freely available by way of open access and has been illustrated by visual artist David Shrigley.[20]
