Paul Samuelson's many contributions to Neoclassical economic theory were recognized with a Nobel Memorial prize in 1970.
Major Works of Paul A. Samuelson
In international trade theory, he is responsible for the StolperSamuelson Theorem and, independently of Lerner, the Factor Price Equalization theorem (1948, 1949, 1953) as well as (finally) resolving the age-old "transfer problem" relating terms of trade and capital flows a well as the Marxian transformation problem (1971) and other issues in Classical economics (1957, 1978).

Perhaps more than anyone else, Paul A. Samuelson has personified mainstream economics in the second half of the twentieth century. The writer of the most successful principles textbook ever (1948), Paul Samuelson has been not unjustly considered the incarnation of the economics "establishment" and as a result, has been both lauded and vilified for virtually everything right and wrong about it.
"Some Aspects of the Pure Theory of Capital", 1937, QJE. "A Note on Measurement of Utility", 1937, RES.
"A Note on the Pure Theory of Consumer's Behaviour", 1938, Economica. "Numerical Representation of Ordered Classifications and the Concept of Utility", 1938, RES. "Interaction Between the Multiplier Analysis and the Principle of Acceleration", 1939, RES. "The Stability of Equilibrium: Comparative statics and dynamics", 1941, Econometrica. "Constancy of the Marginal Utility of Income", 1942, in Lange et al, editors, Studies in Mathematical Economics. "The Relation Between Hicksian Stability and True Dynamic Stability", 1944, Econometrica. Foundations of Economic Analysis, 1947. "Some Implications of Linearity", 1947, Econometrica "Consumption Theory in Terms of Revealed Preference", 1948, Economica Economics: An introductory analysis, 1948.
In macroeconomics, Samuelson's multiplieraccelerator macrodynamic model (1939) is justly famous, as is his presentation of the Phillips Curve (1960) to the world. He is also famous for popularizing Allais's "overlapping generations" model which has since found many applications in macroeconomics and monetary theory. In many ways, his work on speculative prices (1965) effectively anticipates the efficient markets hypothesis in
Samuelson's most famous piece of work, Foundations of Economic Analysis (1947), one of the grand tomes that helped revive Neoclassical economics and launched the era of the mathematization of economics. Samuelson was one of the progenitors of the Paretian revival in microeconomics and the NeoKeynesian Synthesis in macroeconomics during the postwar period.
Samuelson was also instrumental in establishing the modern theory of theory of production. His Foundations (1947) are responsible for the envelope theorem and the full characterization of the cost function. He also made important contributions to the theory of technical progress (1972). His work on the theory of capital is also well known, if contentious. He demonstrate"NonSubstitution" theorems (1951)
In microeconomics, he is responsible for the theory of revealed preference (1938, 1947). This and his related efforts on the question of utility measurement and integrability (1937, 1950) opened the way for future developments by Debreu, Georgescu-Roegen and Uzawa. He also introduced the use of comparative statics and dynamics through his "correspondence principle" (1947) which was applied fruitfully in his contributions to
"International Trade and the Equalisation of Factor Prices", 1948, EJ. "International Factor-Price Equalisation Once Again", 1949, EJ. "The Problem of Integrability in Utility Theory", 1950, Economica. "Probability and the Attempts to Measure Utility", 1950, Economic Review. "Evaluation of Real National Income", 1950, Oxford EP. "Abstract of a Theorem Concerning Substitutability in Open Leontief Models", 1951, in Koopmans, editor, Activity Analysis of Production and Allocation. "Economic Theory and Mathematics: An appraisal", 1952, AER "Spatial Price Equilibrium and Linear Programming", 1952, AER. "Prices of Factors and Goods in General Equilibrium", 1953, RES. "Consumption Theorems in Terms of Overcompensation Rather than Indifference Comparisons", 1953, Economica.
Samuelson's specific contributions to economics have been far too many to be listed here - being among the most prolific writers in economics. Samuelson's signature method of economic theory, illustrated in his Foundations (1947), seems to follow two rules which can also been said to characterize much of Neoclassical economics since: with every economic problem (1) reduce the number of variables and keep only a minumum set of simple economic
The wunderkind of the Harvard generation of 1930s, where he studied under Schumpeter and Leontief had a prodigious grasp of economic theory which has since become legendary (an unconfirmed anecdote has it that at the end of Samuelson's dissertation defense, Schumpeter turned to Leontief and asked, "Well, Wassily, have we passed?"). Paul Samuelson moved on to M.I.T. where he built one of the century's most powerful economics departments
