A few of my students asked for some references on the well-being economics literature so here follows a whistle-stop tour. The usual caveat about this being incomplete holds and feel free to suggest some more.
The IDEAS/REPEC pages of the following people is a good place to begin (others in Economics include Bruno Frey, Robert Frank, Gary Becker, Bernard Van Praag, Arie Kapteyn and you will find their homepages easily with the assistance of Google or IDEAS).
Alois Stuzer
David Blanchflower
Daniel Kahneman
Andrew Clark
Andrew Oswald
Economics of Happiness is a sub-classification also on the New Economic Papers and these are well worth consulting for whats currently happening in the field.

Some books that are worth consulting include (abbreviated titles)
Diener: Culture and Subjective Well-Being
Kahenman et al: Foundations of Hedonic Psychology
Richard Layard Happiness
Frey and Stutzer: Economics and Happiness
