    Este trabajo evalúa la influencia de las variables macroeconómicas e institucionales en la tasa de desempleo de 14 países de la Unión Europea. Se recurre a un modelo de datos de panel para el período 1985-2011. El mismo permite concluir sobre qué variables macroeconómicas e institucionales puede resultar más adecuado actuar para mejorar la respuesta del mercado de trabajo a los problemas económicos. Del análisis se concluye que la protección excesiva a los trabajadores, el salario mínimo interprofesional, la centralización en la negociación salarial y las elevadas cotizaciones empresariales a la Seguridad Social, así como la escasa competencia en el mercado de productos, pueden explicar, en parte, las mayores tasas de desempleo que presentan algunos países de la Unión Europea.

    This paper evaluates the influence that macroeconomic and institutional variables have on the unemployment rate in 14 countries within the European Union. A panel data model is used for the 1985-2011-time period. The model allows concluding which macroeconomic and institutional variables could be more effective for improving the labor market response when facing economic difficulties. It can be concluded then that excessive protection for workers, inter-professional minimum salary wage, as well as a low competition in the product market, can partially explain the higher unemployment rates found in several countries of the European Union.
