Abstract

¿Quién soporta la carga fiscal asociada a las cotizaciones sociales, los trabajadores, los consumidores o las empresas? La elevada recaudación por cotizaciones sociales, su impacto en el mercado de trabajo y su papel central en la financiación del Estado del Bienestar justifican su relevancia. Para ello, se estima una ley de Okun de la economía española, en el período 1964- 2001, contrastándose la aportación de las principales instituciones del mercado de trabajo, en especial, de los diferentes componentes de la cuña fiscal. En segundo lugar, se estima un sistema de dos ecuaciones, precios y costes laborales unitarios nominales de los asalariados privados, donde se contrasta la significatividad de las cotizaciones sociales. En el largo plazo, se rechaza que los trabajadores o los consumidores hayan soportado la fiscalidad directa por medio de menores salarios o de mayores precios. Por tanto, habrían sido las empresas quienes soportaron íntegramente la fiscalidad laboral, y, dentro de ella, las cotizaciones sociales empresariales.
