Hi I need help to identify what could be the ideal model for analysis. I want to see the effect of grants on firm's productivity. It does not have a unique time series data within panel because there are different types of grants which were granted in a single year for few firms. So the time is not uniquely identified within panel. Also there is no cutoff point like a specific year when the grants were applied say 2020, so that we can look at the treatment effect using a DID method. Is there any necessity to conduct any matching techniques.
Any suggestion what could be the best way to look into this.
