  1. Table 4 describes the evolution of the day-of-the-week effect in three 18-year subperiods, 1953–1970, 1971–1988 and 1989–2006, using the dummy variable regression model. The dummy variable regression model is estimated for the value-weighted (VW), equally-weighted (EW), and 10 decile portfolios sorted by market capitalization. The upper part of each panel provides the coefficients for each of the dummy variables and the bottom part provides results for the regression as a whole. The results show a decline in the magnitude of the effect that is more pronounced in the large capitalization deciles. There is no evidence though that the effect has vanished. All the tests are adjusted for heteroscedasticity and serial correlation using Newey-West standard errors
