<p>Income data for 2023 is missing in my dataset because the official statistics bureau hasn't published that yet and won't for a while. My thesis adviser suggested I use an AR(2) model to predict 1-year ahead to 2023. The dataset is a panel data and I'm concerned with stationarity, as income doesn't tend to be stationary.

Can you predict with an AR model to replace missing data for a year?

An "integrated" autoregression is one where the model is run on *differenced* values. In order to make the series stationary, please use differenced values, in an ARIMA model (the I in ARIMA stands for integrated).
