Recent violent market movements in response to the release of economic statistics have resulted in renewed interest in the dismal science. If you ever wondered when the statistics are released and which ones are important, then look no further than the Yahoo! Finance Economic Calendar. The calendar lists current and future economic statistics, corresponding release dates and background information including a description of the importance of the statistic.
