Figure 10

Comparison of mean sales growth between stressed and control groups at different shock levels. Large bullets indicate significant differences (\(p<0.05\)). We provide trendlines fitted on the differences between the groups. Results are shown separately for stressed customers (a, b), suppliers (c, d) and bidirectional partners (e, f). (a, c, e) indicate sales growth in the first year following the shock event (\(y+1\)), while (b, d, f) show the changes in the second year following the shock event (\(y+2\)). The corresponding statistics and sample sizes are listed in Table 6
