Sticky on the Way Down

An Event-Study of Flat-White Price Adjustment at One Office-Precinct Coffee Cart

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement runs an event-study of forty-two bean-cost changes at a single office-precinct coffee cart, timing how long each drink's price takes to move after a supplier cost rise against a supplier cost cut. Adjustment lags roughly tenfold, holding across every drink on the board.
