I think it lacks the property of being "a paper", but I'll happily nominate The Implementation of Functional Programming Languages Simon Peyton Jones, Prentice Hall 1987

That book is great. I wrote a toy compiler loosely based on parts of that book.

Here's a newer book that covers similar subjects: "Implementing functional languages: a tutorial" http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/simonpj/papers...
