| Tiivistelmä: | Escalation errors or sunk cost effects refer to a process, when a manager continues using old equipment not yet amortized rather than switching to a new and more profitable equipment. Earlier explanations relied exclusively on psychological factors like psychic accounting, framing etc. The present paper explains the phenomena as a special case of hiding private information on human capital. In the special case the manager clings to his old choice to hide his error committed by choosing the old project. |
