I'm trying to detect return predictability by regressing stock returns on the first couple of principal components of a set of macroeconomic variables. I'm doing this for different stock styles such as small, value and momentum stocks. Since I don't know at which lag I should insert these principal components, I'm hoping to find someone who can help me out.

Later on I would use these principal components in another regression that looks like this:
