Tutorials
=========

These tutorials are an introduction to the basics of **respy** for new users.
They are especially targeted at economics students taking their first steps in
structural econometric modeling, and they also serve to showcase the potential
of **respy** as a teaching tool. Although the focus is on how to use the package,
you will find several cross-references to the theoretical concepts behind the models.
