Do teachers recognize stereotypes in the classroom? We introduce the Stereotype Identification Test (SIT) to measure this ability and explore whether it can be improved.

♦️ 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.
☑️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
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.

A Public Goods Game → cooperation measured via contributions.
A Charity Dictator Game → donations to mental health & other causes.
🔹 Private → individual benefits of investing in mental health
🔹 Public → collective benefits for society
🔹 Neutral → prevalence facts only

✅ Strongest risky behaviour links: alcohol and early sexual activity. Policy implication:
Social media is not just a passive activity—it may be a risky behaviour in itself for adolescents.
Early puberty matters: it’s associated with higher risk-taking in adolescence.
Our mediation analysis shows:
Earlier menarche partially explains increases in smoking, drinking, and early sexual initiation among heavy users.
We find both direct and indirect effects:
➡️Direct: intensive social media use accelerates menarche.
⏩Indirect: poorer mental health mediates part of the effect.
Why? Our evidence points to stress and mental health deterioration as a likely mechanism.
Heavy social media use → more stress/anxiety → earlier puberty onset.
This aligns with medical literature linking stress to earlier menarche.
