The science of wellbeing: causes, consequences, and policies

This hybrid workshop was held over two days at the University of Oxford to discuss topics covered in The Science of Wellbeing, the first textbook to be published on the subject.

The textbook is co-authored by Prof Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and Prof Lord Richard Layard, and will be published by Cambridge University Press in 2022.

The workshop brought together leading economists and scientists to discuss aspects influencing wellbeing including genetics, behaviour, family and schooling, work and income, and more.
