摘要：We develop a positive mathematical programming model to investigate the impact of climatechange on land use in the prairie pothole region of western Canada, with particular focuson wetlands retention. We examine the effect of climate change and biofuel policies that areimplemented to mitigate climate change on wetlands retention. Simulation results indicate that adrier climate could decrease wetlands by as much as 38% if the externality benefits of wetlandsare considered, but by nearly 80% if they are not. Reductions in wetlands are most pronounced inthe south-central areas of the region.
