For the historical minded I would like to add that the dissertation  
was submitted at the University Berlin where Leontief studied under  
Werner Sombart and Ladislaus Bortkiewicz. His topic was: "Economy as  
Circulation", according to his Curriculum Vitae, submitted on the  
occasion of obtaining his Nobel price in 1973.  
See also Who's who in Economics by Mark Blaug, 2n ed.p.511, where  
under _Degrees_ we have:  "PhD Univ. Berlin, 1925-8". 
Cheers,
