Ah, I would really like to attend this course. Unfortunately, the Atlantic is just too big to cross. Can't you record your lectures and post them on the web? Please =D
Agree w/Carl. Don't turn away folks just because they don't live in the DC area. Create an MP3 podcast of the lectures. MP3 recording has gotten quite cheap.
Will you be teaching this class next year as well, or will you be switching back to public finance?
PS David Friedman is already doing it for some of his courses....

I'll be teaching this course every spring for the foreseeable future.
I'll ask my RA about podcasting to see how high the labor cost is...
I recorded your lectures when I was in Micro II a few years back for my own personal use. The device I used was a generic MP3 player (iRiver or something like that), which was really cheap and easy to use.
Adding MP3 versions of your lectures to your website would not only be beneficial for people in the blogosphere but useful for your students as well. I used it for studying and taking more thorough notes after I got home, but the more obvious use is for the foreign students who may miss some parts of the lecture.
Mark Thoma, over at UOregon, has been pre-recording his lectures for a long time now. As a student living a bit off campus, I thought it was of great value that he did this.
Anyway, I would definitely enjoy attending a lecture from pretty much any of the Economists at GMU.

What other graduate courses will you be teaching, and when?

I'll bet the labor cost of podcasting is far less than the tuition of the course for one student (~ US$3,000). I'll wager she'd be happy to do the podcasting for a measly thousand bucks.
My other spring course is Ph.D. Micro II.
If a student volunteer will do the legwork, I'm happy to have my lectures recorded. Anyone?
Professor Caplan,
I can volunteer for that position if you'd like.
