The adjustment burden sits outside the menu
A price change can carry three different adjustment burdens. The bars show a conceptual ordering only, not the size of any firm's costs.
Reference & Evidence
Source: Author's conceptual model grounded in Fabiani et al. (2006) and Zbaracki et al. (2004). The ordering is illustrative, not a measured cost ratio.
