function [endogenousvariables, exogenousvariables] = backward_model_inversion(constraints, exogenousvariables, initialconditions, endo_names, exo_names, freeinnovations, DynareModel, DynareOptions, DynareOutput)

% INPUTS
% - constraints         [dseries]        with N constrained endogenous variables from t1 to t2.
% - exogenousvariables  [dseries]        with Q exogenous variables.
% - initialconditions   [dseries]        with M endogenous variables starting before t1 (M initialcond must contain at least the state variables).
% - endo_names          [cell]           list of endogenous variable names.
% - exo_names           [cell]           list of exogenous variable names.
% - freeinstruments     [cell]           list of exogenous variable names used to control the constrained endogenous variables.
%
% OUTPUTS
% - endogenous          [dseries]
% - exogenous           [dseries]
