5/ Methodological contribution: We integrate linguistic annotation with econometric modeling to jointly analyze: • evaluator gender • employee gender • gender-typed language in evaluations → allowing us to identify mechanisms, not just correlations.

4/ Key finding #3: When women managers use agentive language to evaluate men, outcomes can backfire, reducing men’s likelihood of receiving top performance ratings. This suggests a spillover form of backlash linked to status-incongruent leadership.

3/ Key finding #2: Women evaluators must use substantially more agentive languagethan male evaluators to achieve similar positive evaluation outcomes for employees. This highlights a persistent gender–competence stereotype in evaluative authority.

2/ Key finding #1: Agentive language (e.g., assertive, competitive, independent) generates higher returns for women than for men in performance assessments—especially among high-performing women.

1/ We study how language gender stereotypes, pertaining to language, its users and its objects, shape the evaluations of employees. In a unique dataset of 1,054 evaluations annotated by expert linguists we identify agentive vs communal language.

A new generation, properly trained and empowered, can help reset expectations. Not by waiting for change from the top, but by bringing new norms into the system. It’s time to stop relying on the “bad apple” narrative. It’s the orchard, not the fruit, that needs tending.

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

If we train early-career researchers with clear rights and clear obligations, we build a generation that knows what to expect — and what to demand. Because we failed to hold senior members of the profession accountable and that failure shapes the culture downstream.

Let me be specific: every graduate programme should include an Ethics of the Profession module. Not a token lecture, but a structured module covering: • Professional conduct • Research integrity • Ethical collaboration and mentorship • Teaching standards

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

The “bad apple” story has got a little stale. We’ve spent years producing research on problems that are, in fact, systemic in #economics. We need a culture change movement across the profession. That movement has to start early. @aeacswep.bsky.social @resmedia.bsky.social @eeanews.bsky.social

6/6 Illicit trade in cultural goods affects not just markets, but identity & heritage. Our paper shows how trade data can reveal these hidden flows—and why better cooperation is essential. Looking forward to your comments! 📄 Read here 👉https://doi.org/10.1007/s10824-025-09555-z

5/6 Policy takeaways: ♦️ Legal frameworks alone are insufficient! ♦️UNIDROIT 1995 is more effective than UNESCO 1970—but major markets (US, UK) haven’t ratified. Enforcement capacity + international cooperation are crucial.

4/6 Findings: ☑️Gaps grow with interest in Italian culture 📈 ☑️Stronger corruption control reduces gaps in regulated markets (sculptures, antiques) ☑️Archaeological property: post-2010 spike → linked to Arab Spring looting

3/6 🔎 Our contributions: 1️⃣ A new Cultural Salience Index (Google Trends data) to capture demand for Italian culture. 2️⃣ Gravity model of trade gaps, linking them to GDP, distance, corruption, and salience. 3️⃣ Assessment of UNESCO 1970 & UNIDROIT 1995 conventions.

8/ Low-cost information interventions work, BUT messaging must be context-sensitive: Private narratives foster personal responsibility, public narratives risk backfiring when trust in institutions is low or public provision is seen as sufficient. docs.iza.org/dp18054.pdf

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

7/ Geographic differences: 🌍 In post-communist countries, public & neutral framings lower donations—likely reflecting lower institutional trust & weaker private giving norms.

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

6/ Heterogeneity matters: 🔹 Stronger effects among those with lived experience or high concern. 🔹 But when people perceive public provision as adequate, collective framings reduce private contributions → a substitution effect.

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

100

5/ Stigma reduction emerges as a key mechanism: 🧠 All framings significantly reduce mental health stigma. This partly explains higher donations, especially under public framing.

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

100

4/ Main findings: ✅ All three mental health framings significantly increase cooperation & donations vs. control. ✅ People act even without expecting others to do the same → intrinsic motivation matters!

Marina Della Giusta @mardelgiu.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

3/ After exposure, participants made real-money decisions: A Public Goods Game → cooperation measured via contributions. A Charity Dictator Game → donations to mental health & other causes.
