Abstract: Abstract The nation is a geographical unit cut out as a strip from the world map. What is the reason for treating it as a unit in economic analysis? What kind of discontinuities are there that distinguish the national unit from other units, smaller or larger than the individual nation? Why and to what extent are these discontinuities relevant to economic analysis?
