A summary is given on the main aspects which were discussed by the working group. They include new results on the deep inelastic scattering structure functions $F_2, xF_3, F_L$ and $F_2^{ c\bar{ c}}$ and their parametrizations, the measurement of the gluon density, recent theoretical work on the small $x$ behavior of structure functions, theoretical and experimental results on $\alpha_s$, the direct photon cross section, and a discussion of the event rates in the high $p_T$ range at Tevatron and the high $Q^2$ range at HERA, as well as possible interpretations.
