    If Electricity Liberalisation Is Working, Then Why Do So Many People Hate It?', presented by Prof James Bushnell 7 August 2013
    (Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, 2013) Bushnell, James
    Attitudes towards the proper form of organisation and regulation of the electricity sector have shifted several times over the past two decades. These shifts include a wave of liberalisation that encompassed many regions of the world, and more recently a backlash against many of these policies. Drawing largely from the U.S. experience, this talk discusses the political economy of electricity restructuring and explores the economic arguments for and against liberalisation.
