創新與新技術經濟學致力于對創新、新技術和技術知識的決定因素和影響進行理論和實證分析。該雜志旨在為不同的文學流派和不同的經濟理論和經驗經濟學貢獻之間架起一座橋梁。這座橋有兩種建造方法。首先，通過鼓勵實證研究(包括案例研究、計量經濟學工作和歷史研究)，評估現有的經濟理論，并為未來的理論工作提出適當的方向。第二，探索將現有理論領域應用和測試到創新和新技術經濟學中的方法，以及利用理論洞見為數據收集和其他實證研究提供信息的方法。

Economics of Innovation and New Technology is devoted to the theoretical and empirical analysis of the determinants and effects of innovation, new technology and technological knowledge. The journal aims to provide a bridge between different strands of literature and different contributions of economic theory and empirical economics. This bridge is built in two ways. First, by encouraging empirical research (including case studies, econometric work and historical research), evaluating existing economic theory, and suggesting appropriate directions for future effort in theoretical work. Second, by exploring ways of applying and testing existing areas of theory to the economics of innovation and new technology, and ways of using theoretical insights to inform data collection and other empirical research.
