The pre-SETS sample period covers the period from April 18, 1997 to October 17, 1997, and the post-SETS sample period will start on October, 20, 1997 and end on April 20, 1998. The empirical results confirm a sharper change from no adjustment to full adjustment in the post-SETS period than in the pre-SETS period. The transaction costs faced by arbitragers trading the spot and futures markets have been reduced since the introduction of SETS. As such, both markets have become more efficient.
