st: calculating standard deviation of age at death from period life tables

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
