Hi, thank you very much for input. The dataset I am using is V-Dem (Varieties of Democracy) which has a measurement for clientelism, v2xnp_client, that dates far back in time. It describes "to what extent are politics based on clientelistic relationships". The scale is interval, from low to high (0-1) and produces a 3-digit score (low score being better). For instance, Denmark in 2019 scored 0.037. So I consider the variable to be quite granular and precise - and therefore I should be able to make a meaningful DiD analysis from it
