The purpose of the paper is to analyze the shifting, incidence, and inter-state exportation of state and local government production taxes on four primary energy resources in the U.S. — coal, uranium, oil, and natural gas — and to compare the results of the analysis with those obtained from a standard partial-equilibrium incidence model. Although a limited literature in this area does exist, the discussion presented in the article focuses more directly on ways general incidence models must be modified to be appropriately applied to these natural resources, from both a short-run and a long-run perspective. State and local production taxes are prevalent in the energy-producing states, and production tax revenues have increased rapidly during the 1970's, as production tax rates have increased as well as the real prices and output of primary energy resources. More important politically is the fact that production taxes impose differential burdens on various income groups and geographic regions. Inter-state exportation of production taxes, real or alleged, has become a national issue and has resulted in court cases contending interstate tax discrimination and restraint of trade.

The article discusses the Tarlov's cysts and the overview of a common space-occupying lesion of the spine and its characteristics on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). According to the article, Tarlov's cysts are fluid-filled meningeal dilations occurred commonly in the posterior nerve root sheath.
