MARGINAL PRODUCTIVITY THEORY: A theory used to analyze the profit-maximizing quantity of inputs (that is‚ the services of factor of productions) purchased by a firm in the production of output. Marginal-productivity theory indicates that the demand for a factor of production is based on the marginal product of the factor. In particular‚ a firm is generally willing to pay a higher price for an input that is more productive and contributes more to output. The demand for an input is thus best termed
