Quark-hadron duality is the correspondence, in suitable inclusive or averaged observables, between a quark-level description and a sum over hadronic states. Asymptotic freedom supports perturbative short-distance production, but sharp resonances and threshold regions can invalidate a pointwise partonic approximation. Inclusive predictions can have both radiative and nonperturbative corrections.
