Yes, but mostly in operations research activities, like improving the production of timber from wood. The duality of prices and quantities is important in all of economics, and Kantorich made the most contributions here. See the Leitman festschrift for Kantorovich. In 2000 at the Mathematical Programming Society Meeting in Atlanta, Boris Polyak gave a speech which described some of Kantorich's importance to economics and the problems with Stalin, etc.; this was published in Mathematical Programming.

Unfortunately the article features a misleading info about Kantorovich's participation in the build-up of the Road of Life шт 1941-1942. It wasn't him who calculated and verified the distance between the tanks (not trucks) to be observed en route across the ice of lake Ladoga. This was carried out by his friend, scientist Sergey Golushkevich, who later presented his calculations in a thesis. Golushkevich's official opponent for this thesis was Kantorovich, who highly appreciated the work of his colleague. Soon after the war Golushkevich died from the health issues caused by his activities on the frozen lake, and later Kantorovich was much irritated by the wide-spread myth that the man who made these scientific calculations was him. Kantorovich was evacuated from besiegt Leningrad to Yaroslavl in 1942, but his 9-months old son died in transit across the lake (see https://www.spb.kp.ru/daily/26801.4/3835508/ and http://www.tvosibgtv.ru/names/Golushkevich_SS.html).
Should anyone have opposite info, please share so we could correct the article accordingly.
