The rate at which a firm can substitute one factor for another while still producing the same level of output is known as the marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS). It measures the trade-off between two inputs, indicating how much of one input can be decreased while increasing another input to maintain constant output. MRTS is typically represented along an isoquant curve in production theory.
