    Time as a factor in regression analysis



    I have the average natural gas price for the past 8 years and the number of Rigs in Utah. My theroy when the natural gas price goes up the number of rigs will go up in 2 to 3 months. I think I can do a regression analysis but I have no idea how to account for the time lag? any idea

    rather than time per se, could you use time since increase? Or add a constant, say time + x? or apply a moving average?

    Not my area of expertise sorry, but just a few ideas.
