Normativni principi u ekonomiji, opisani teorijom racionalnog izbora, pretpostavljaju da odluke donosimo isključivo na temelju budućih dobitaka i gubitaka. Međutim, rezultati niza istraživanja pokazali su kako na naše odluke utječu nepovratni troškovi, odnosno ulaganja iz prošlosti, ishod kojih se ne može promijeniti. Ova pojava poznata je pod nazivom efekt izgubljenoga troška (sunk cost effect) i očituje se kroz dva oblika. Dilema izbora želja je da pošto-poto iskoristimo ono što smo platili, a prilikom odlučivanja o nastavku ulaganja imamo tendenciju dodatno ulagati u projekt koji ide prema gubitku. U ovom radu opisana su oba oblika efekta izgubljenoga troška i izneseni nalazi relevantnih istraživanja. Objašnjena je upotrijebljena metodologija i njezine kritike, a razmotrene su razlike između ekonomskih i psiholoških teoretskih objašnjenja. Na kraju rada navode se implikacije navedenih nalaza u rukovoditeljskoj praksi.Normative economic principles, as described in the theory of rational choice, assume that we base our decisions solely on future gains and losses. However, the results of several lines of research show that our decisions are influenced by sunk costs, past investments that are not redeemable. This phenomenon is called the sunk cost effect and it comes in two forms. In choice dilemmas we want to use what we have paid disregarding possible additional costs. When deciding whether to continue an investment, people tend to financially support a failing project. In this paper, both types of sunk cost effects are described and results of relevant research are reviewed, as well as the methodology and criticisms of this research. Furthermore, the differences between economic and psychological theories are considered. In the end, the practical implications of this research for the managerial domain are mentioned
