Marginal rate of substitution
In economics, the marginal rate of substitution (MRS for short) is the rate at which consumers are willing to give up units of one good in exchange for one more unit of another good. Put another way, the MRS of good X for good Y is the amount of good Y that a person is willing to give up to obtain one additional unit of good X.
