Finance plays a critical function in economies and continues to evolve in practice complemented by research, policy, and regulation. The articles in this special issue provide up‐to‐date reviews of contemporary topics in finance. Unconventional monetary policy, implicit bank guarantees, and financial fraud are in various ways associated with rethinks stimulated by the Global Financial Crisis. The topics of inflation risk premia, finance and productivity, angel investing, venture capital, relationship lending, and microfinance have benefitted from increased research associated with more data and use in practice. The final two topics of crowdfunding and crypto‐currencies are the products of recent technological developments.
