State severance tax rates and collection from mineral resources are related, among other things, to the industrial structure of the extractive industry and geographic resource location patterns. The more concentrated the geographical location of a natural resource, the greater a state's power to levy a tax on the resource and the more likely a state will have such a tax. Documented patterns of resource taxation reflect basic revenue maximizing principles embraced by state governments in establishing their tax structure. States levying a flat severance tax rate on all natural resources run the serious risk of impeding the extraction of resources which are also produced in many other states. 8 tables.
