Calendars & Events

Sometimes, economic and political developments happen due to subtle and complex social and business dynamics. Others they do so because because it was scheduled, or because of seasonal or calendar effects, that reflect changes in our changing behaviours throughout the year or the fact that some new piece of information has just been released. In this page I take stock of all the links I have been able to find providing such schedules and calendars of events. This page is divided in 2 main sections: (1) Economic data releases & Political Meetings, and (2) Public Conferences & Debating Events
