Abstract

This paper analyses the relationship between tax structure and unemployment in the labour market of OECD countries for the period 1965-2004. The theoretical model take into account the existence of a non-competitive goods market and the government inefficiency level in the provision of social benefits or public goods. Likewise, the model incorporates the unions¿ perception between the taxed paid and the government transfers. The results from the estimations suggest that the social security contributions levied on the employers might have had a certain role to play in the increase in the rate of unemployment in the group of countries denominated European Continental. El presente trabajo analiza los efectos que tiene la estructura impositiva en el mercado de trabajo sobre el nivel de desempleo durante el periodo 1965-2004 en los países de la OCDE. El marco de análisis teórico tiene en cuenta la existencia de un mercado de bienes no competitivo e ineficiencias en la provisión de bienes por parte del gobierno. Asimismo, se tiene en cuenta la vinculación que realizan los trabajadores entre los impuestos pagados y el nivel de servicios sociales percibidos. Desde un punto de vista empírico, los resultados obtenidos muestran que el impuesto que pagan los empresarios, para financiar la seguridad social, es un factor relevante a la hora de explicar el desempleo en el grupo de países de la Europa Continental.
