He was the head of the "Central Economic Mathematical Institute"(CEMI) in Moscow from 1963 to 1985.His name is associated with an economic planning methodology used in the former Soviet Union and known as the System of Optimal Functioning of the Economy (SOFE). During the Soviet period SOFE was a controversial approach using mathematical planning methods in order to improve the central planning system. These methods were based on the idea of linear programming or "optimal planning", associated with L.V. Kantorovich. The SOFE approach was sharply criticized by some Marxist political economists, who saw the mathematical methods as being too close to Western economic approaches. They were afraid that Soviet political economy would disappear behind the mathematical formulas, and that Soviet economics would finally be assimilated into Western economics, which also uses mathematical formulas.

An American paleontologist, who, along with Stephen Jay Gould, proposed the theory of punctuated equilibrium in 1972.Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould proposed punctuated equilibrium in 1972. Punctuated equilibrium is a refinement to evolutionary theory which describes patterns of descent taking place in "fits and starts" separated by long periods of stability.Eldredge went on to develop a hierarchical vision of evolutionary and ecological systems. Around this time, he became focused on the rapid destruction of many of the world's habitats and species. Throughout his career, he has used repeated patterns in the history of life to refine ideas on how the evolutionary process actually works.
