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.
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.

More then happy. Though I think the right bet is you pick a university with a T25 econ department. I pick 5 professors. You can ask one at random. My point was there exists 300-500 economists with that kind of speaking offers. They just turn them down/arent visible broadly.
