The spin structure functions g1 and g2 are calculated in the resonance region and for small and intermediate momentum transfer. The calculation is based on a gauge-invariant and unitary model for one-pion photo- and electroproduction. The predictions of the model agree with the asymmetries and the spin structure functions recently measured at SLAC, and the first moments of the calculated spin structure functions satisfy the Gerasimov-Drell-Hearn and Burkhardt-Cottingham sum rules within an error of typically 5–10 %.
