View full profile →

Wassily Leontief (1906–1999) was a Russian-American economist who won the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his development of input-output analysis, a method that revolutionized the study of interindustry relationships. He was a staunch empiricist who insisted on grounding economic theory in observable data, often clashing with the mathematical abstraction prevalent in mid-20th century economics. His work laid the foundation for modern computational economics and national accounting.
