While each of these terms is highly complex and controversial, we all know the main difference between them. The state is a political and administrative unit, claiming the "monopoly of the legitimate use of force" over all the inhabitants of a given territory.

It brings together a number of pioneering papers by Adam Jaffe and Manuel Trajtenberg (and various co-authors) on the use of patent citations to study the innovation process, plus several new pieces of work. The book is organised in four parts. The papers in Part 1 lay the 'conceptual' groundwork for research on patent citations. The first is the classic paper by Trajtenberg demonstrating that citations are linked to demand-based measures of social surplus for one important medical innovation, CT scanners. Making this link between patent citations and social (and private) value provides powerful justification for using citations in economic studies. It is surprising and unfortunate that there have not been similar studies on other innovations, despite the huge growth of empirical work on vertically differentiated product markets.

The general approach has been to start with a tariff distorted equilibrium and ask whether a particular set of preferential tariff reductions between union partners is welfare-improving for each participating country, the union and the world as a whole.'
