This paper tests whether the impact of labour taxes on unemployment is symmetric with respect to increases and decreases in labour taxes. Using a panel of 16 OECD countries over the period 1970-2005, we estimate a panel unobserved component model to account for the fact that unemployment rates and labour taxes are non-stationary but not cointegrated. We find a positive impact of tax increases in European and Nordic countries with some evidence that tax decreases have a more moderate impact. For Anglo-Saxon countries, no impact of labour taxes on unemployment is found
