Janice Caryl "Jan" Eberly (born c. 1964) is an American economist. Since 2002 she has been the James R. and Helen D. Russell Distinguished Professor of Finance at the Kellogg School of Management of Northwestern University. She served from 2011 to 2013 as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and Chief Economist of the United States Department of the Treasury. She was named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2013. Her research focuses on the intersection of macroeconomics and finance.
Eberly grew up on a citrus and avocado ranch in Fallbrook, California. Her father was a Navy veteran and a pilot for United Airlines. She attended Fallbrook Union High School and was active in the school's chapter of Future Farmers of America (FFA). After graduating in 1981 as valedictorian she served as the first female California State President of FFA. In 1982 she became the first female National President of FFA.
Eberly entered the University of California, Davis as an undergraduate in 1983. During the 1985–86 school year, when she was a junior, she was the student member of the Regents of the University of California, the governing body of the University of California system. In this capacity, she voted against continuing the university's management of two national laboratories involved in nuclear weapons research: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Stanley Sheinbaum was the only one of the other 12 regents to vote with her. The University of California ceased direct management of these laboratories in 2007 and 2006 respectively. She graduated in June 1986 with a bachelor of science in agricultural economics and was named valedictorian.
