Definitions:

Marginal Rate

A term that often refers to the marginal rate of substitution in economics, which measures the rate at which a consumer can give up some amount of one good in exchange for another good while maintaining the same level of utility.

Technical Substitution

The process of replacing one set of input variables or resources with another set, in production processes, to achieve a similar level of output. This reflects the firm’s ability to adapt to changes in resource availability or cost.

Isoquant

A curve on a graph representing combinations of inputs that yield the same level of output.

MRTS

The Marginal Rate of Technical Substitution, the rate at which one input can be replaced by another while keeping output constant.
