Marginal return: Marginal return, in economics, refers to the additional output gained by increasing one unit of input (like labor or capital) while keeping other inputs constant. It signifies the change in production efficiency or output resulting from incremental changes in resources. As input increases, marginal returns might diminish due to factors like diminishing productivity or resource constraints. See also Efficiency, Benefit, Utility theory, Marginal utility.
