    Journal of Physical Education and Sport ® (JPES), 15(4), Art 106, pp. 697 - 701, 2015 online ISSN: 2247 - 806X; p-ISSN: 2247 – 8051; ISSN - L = 2247 - 8051 © JPES Original Article Sunk cost effect in the Korea basketball league HONGRYUL KIM1, SANGHYUN PARK1, DOYEON WON1 1Department of Sport and Leisure Studies, Yonsei University, REPUBLIC OF KOREA Published online: December 26, 2015 (Accepted for publication October 20, 2015) DOI:10.7752/jpes.2015.04106 Abstract: This study examines the sunk cost effect, an irrational behavior, by using Korea professional basketball players’ performance records and playing time. Data covering 2001 to 2010 were collected from diverse statistical records from the Korean Basketball League (KBL) website. An initial sample of 187 KBL rookies was collected; 115 samples were ultimately retained after 72 without official records or who retired within three years were removed. The results based on ordinary least squares regressions showed that, first, prior point per game, prior toughness, and prior accuracy were significant predictors of playing time in the second season. Second, prior point per game was a significant predictor of playing time in the third season. Third, the sunk cost effect was statistically discovered in the third season. Key words: sunk cost fallacy; decision-making; Korea Basketball League, player draft Introduction Decision makers generally make rational decisions based on prior results, but this does not always lead to desirable outcomes. Irreversible costs due to choices that cannot be reversed can accrue through the commitment of resources (Borland, Lee and Macdonald 2010). Although decision makers tend to consider only the additional expenses and benefits when making rational decision, they also tend to overestimate the initial expenditure and then exaggerate the investment (Thaler 1980).

  • Helping the Game to Grow Day One of the FIBA World Congress Saw an Amended Version of FIBA’S Statutes Approved Unanimously
    istanbul - Day tHREE - 5 SeptEmber 2010 Walk the talk panels preview lindsay gaze web record vidal reveals his all you need to know The man who GAme lovers flock nightmare moment ahead of today’s travelled “coach” to fiba world Page 2 major sessions Page 9 championship site Page 4 Page 12 Helping the game to grow Day One of the Fiba World Congress saw an amended version of Fiba’s statutes approved unanimously. One of the key changes to the statutes is the new mid-term Congress. While terms of office will remain the same – a four-year cycle – this mid-term Congress is similar to the regular one in every other way. Fiba secretary General and international Olympic Committee (iOC) member patrick baumann explained the thinking behind the new Congress cycle. “We took a decision some years back to strive for more efficient and better organised member federations. it started with giving them a manual outlining the key aspects for successful governance of their institutions,” he said. “the will and the work were there, but we realised that things were not moving as fast as they could. the contact with the federations and the interaction between them were still insufficient.” baumann points out that basketball is now progressing much faster than in the past. “things happen very rapidly so you need to be there to act and take decisions. With the past system if you missed one Congress, you were out for eight years. it made it virtually impossible to acquire and exchange the tools and “We took a decision know-how that is so crucial.” the idea is that with a some years back shorter period between Congresses, members will be to strive for more more aware of what is being discussed, will participate efficient and better in the debate and return organised member home to share the acquired knowledge.
