dc.descriptionIn this review I concentrate exclusively on models for the large-scale structure created by jet flows in AGN. I briefly mention models for the evolution and emission of these objects and how they can also be applied to microquasars. While in radio-loud AGN we can directly use the radio synchrotron emission of these structures, we need to find other detection methods in microquasars. Where possible, the application of AGN models has produced important insights into the time-averaged energy transport rate of microquasar jets. I also describe methods for using the large-scale structure of jets to infer jet duty cycles. Finally, I point out some recent work taking the idea of a connection of accretion disc states and jet production from microquasars and applying it to radio-loud AGN.
