What Is the Marginal Rate of Substitution (MRS)?
In economics, the marginal rate of substitution (MRS) is the amount of a good that a consumer is willing to consume in relation to another good, as long as the new good is equally satisfying. It's used in indifference theory to analyze consumer behavior. The marginal rate of substitution is calculated between two goods placed on an indifference curve, displaying a frontier of utility for each combination of "good X" and "good Y."

The Marginal Rate of Substitution of Good X for Good Y (MRSxy) = ∆Y/ ∆X (which is just the slope of the indifference curve).
Usually, marginal substitution is diminishing, meaning a consumer chooses the substitute in place of another good rather than simultaneously consuming more. The law of diminishing marginal rates of substitution states that MRS decreases as one moves down a standard convex-shaped curve, which is the indifference curve.
