Abstract/Index

Behavioral economics and migrant integration. Introduction to behavioral economics in migration. Prospect theory and migrant decision-making: focus on loss aversion. Dual process theory: navigating new contexts through intuition and reason. Social norms theory: behavioral expectations and identity signaling. Choice architecture and nudging: designing for better decisions. Behavioral framework for migrant integration: a synthesis. Integration friction map–a conceptual model. Why do we need a new model? The big idea: what is a "friction"? The model: a four-zone map. The feedback loop: when frictions reinforce each other. Illustrative application-“shared tables” initiative, Germany. From friction to intervention: the model’s purpose. Limitations and further use. Social norms and the role of community in migrant integration. Social norms: the hidden rules we live by. The reference network: who influences whom. Behavioral implications: norms as double-edged swords. Changing norms: a behavioral strategy. Integration as identity performance. From theory to practice: designing for norm change. Behavioral barriers to migrant integration. Status quo bias: sticking with the familiar. Cognitive overload: too much, too fast. Temporal discounting: the future feels far away. Social misperceptions: “people like me don’t do this”. Learned helplessness: when past failure becomes future avoidance. A behavioral diagnosis approach. The battle with invisible friction. Case studies and behavioral applications. Case 1: Denmark–transforming language education through behavioral design. Case 2: Italy–building integration through community narratives. Case 3: Germany–addressing cognitive overload with digital tools. Comparative analysis: behavioral patterns across contexts.
