I've been asked a number of times this trip how to cold start a community (in a place, a field, etc). There is no one answer, but if you want a reproducible pair of questions: Who do you have in abundance? What do you have which is scarce? Introduce the two. Repeat.

For example at the top 20-30 departments in economics professors will get plenty of opportunities to pontificate in front of large opportunities on interest rates, China, real estate etc. Though your greater point might still stand.

I think this claim can be encoded in a wager with, say, a $10 donation to charity if I'm right. Would you like to offer me odds? I'll pick random professor from the ~25th ranked department you name (lexicographic sort on SHA256 hash of their name as listed on faculty page) + ask.

Depends what you mean by speaking events. But if you are simply talking about speaking to corporate audiences or opportunities to go on the news that’s a significant underestimate.
