Abstract
The production of hadronic final states in electron-positron or electron-hadron collisions is induced predominantly by quasi-real photons that were emitted off incoming leptons. In these processes, the photon either enters directly or through its resolved parton content, which is at present only loosely constrained by experimental data. We perform a detailed phenomenological study of photon-induced jet production processes in high-energy 
collisions, investigating in particular their potential to assess contributions from the resolved photon structure.
