The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands):

	2019	2018	2017
Weighted average common shares for basic earnings per share	237,604	237,511	237,420
Effect of dilutive securities: restricted share awards	—	35	32
Weighted average common shares for diluted earnings per share (1)	237,604	237,546	237,452

(1) For the year ended December 31, 2019, 36 of our unvested common shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because to do so would have been antidilutive.
