Hello :

One question : I have two series, one starting in 2005 and the other starting in 2006. My ultimate goal is to complete the series starting in 2006 so it starts in 2005 like the other one. The way i want to accomplish this goal is to estimate the constants that fit the following equation : series_starting_2006 = c + series_starting_2005, then do a backcast for the year missing. How can i estimate these constants on eviews 7?

Many thanks!

quick->estimate equation.

Enter the equation specification and hit ok.

Thanks... but how do i refer to the constants? what do i put in the method box?

Thanks for your time.

You're probably best off reading Chapters 1 and 3 of the excellent EViews Illustrated:
