Figure 13

Comparison of the number of new suppliers of stressed and control groups at different shock levels. Large bullets indicate significant differences (\(p<0.05\)). Results are shown separately for stressed customers (a, b), suppliers (c, d) and bidirectional partners (e, f). (a, c, e) indicate the number of new suppliers in the first year following the shock event (\(y+1\)), while (b, d, f) show the number of new suppliers in the second year following the shock event (\(y+2\)). The corresponding statistics and sample sizes are listed in Table 8
