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".
