The marginal rate of substitution tells us how much coffee I’ll give up for one more tea.
边际替代率告诉我们,为了多得到一杯茶,我愿意放弃多少咖啡。
As consumption changes, the marginal rate of substitution usually diminishes, which is why indifference curves are typically convex to the origin.
随着消费组合变化,边际替代率通常会递减,这也是为什么无差异曲线一般对原点呈凸形。
