The concepts of cultural diversity and identity are central to political discussions in many Western societies, particularly in Europe, where immigration flows are rising. These trends raise critical questions for European democracies, such as the patterns and dynamics of cultural integration, variations among different ethnic and religious groups, and differences across host societies. Additionally, the implications for market outcomes and public policy, as well as which institutional contexts best support cultural integration, are vital for policymakers. This book serves as a foundation for this important debate. Adopting an economic perspective, it offers a comparative analysis of the cultural integration processes of immigrants in seven key European countries—France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom—while also contrasting these with immigrant integration in the United States. It documents the main economic discussions surrounding the causes and consequences of cultural integration, providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape.
