Dear Statalist users:

I am trying to find the optimal lag structure of my health production function (lags are usually included because e.g. lifestyle effects do not immediately translate into longer life expectancy) which looks like that: LIFE EXPECTANCY_ct=b_o+b_1 HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURE_ct + b_2 GDP_ct + b_3 ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION_ct

where c=COUNTRY and t=YEAR
Is there a test implemented in Stata which tells me e.g. whether to include GDP lagged 5 years, 10 years or 0 years?

Thanks a lot for any hint!
Regards,
Johannes
