Using fractional integration and Markov-switching dynamic regression (MS-DR) models, we analyze persistence and regime shifts. The results reveal that, prior to March 2020, the return difference was in a regime of high persistence and no reversion to the mean, making the deviations long-lasting. After the pandemic, the system shifted to a regime of moderate persistence with reversion to the mean, indicating that the return differences now tend to correct over time. This regime shift, confirmed by the Markov switching model, highlights a permanent change in the dynamics of value and growth strategies, which significantly affects their long-term equilibrium.}, publisher = {PLOS One}, title = {Time trends and persistence of the return difference between growth and value investment strategies}, doi = {10.1371/journal. pone.0332690}, journal = {PLoS One}, keywords = {Humans}, keywords = {Investments / economics}, keywords = {Markov Chains}, keywords = {Pandemics / economics}, keywords = {SARS-CoV-2 / isolation & purification}, keywords = {COVID-19 / economics}, keywords = {COVID-19 / epidemiology}, volume = {20}, author = {Monge, Manuel and Hurtado, Rafael and Infante, Juan}, }
