| Marginal Productivity Theory - Economics Dictionary of Arguments | |||
| Marginal Productivity Theory: The Marginal Productivity Theory states that factors of production (labor, capital) are paid according to their marginal contribution to output. Wages, rents, and profits reflect the additional value each input adds. Firms hire resources until the marginal revenue product equals the input cost, ensuring optimal allocation in competitive markets. See also Marginal product, Marginal productivity, Marginalism._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
