Going through the syllabus, it seems like it’s about
“hey Economists, here’s how the stuff you know (refreshing your memory) is relevant to EA and global prioritization”. (Or at least a subset of this, I don’t think you can be comprehensive.)
That also tracks with your statement
It would take 10-25 students, primarily late-stage undergrads or early-stage grad students in economics.
You might even include faculty/post-docs in this, if they are interested and have the bandwidth.
This seems very useful.
… Something else I think would be useful is a “hey EA’s who are quantitatively and analytically minded, (with some econ background perhaps), here’s a deep dive on how very key concepts in Econ are relevant, and here’s how they are commonly misunderstood.” But that’s a different idea, not what you have here.

Right—the primary audience is people who already have a fair bit of background in economics.
