By
Phil Dobbie
(MoneyWatch)  (11min 12) On today's BTalk Australia Phil Dobbie talks to Joshua Gans, an economist from the Melbourne Business School, about competition in the electricity industry.

Working with Frank Wolak from Stanford University, Joshua recently analysed the impact of AGL's acquisition of Loy Yang A, a power generation plant in Victoria. What did it do to the price of wholesale supply?
