Abstract
⺠We study the relationship between nationalism and government effectiveness. ⺠We empirically identify a robust inverted U-shaped effect of nationalism. ⺠One implication is that most countries have too nationalistic populations. ⺠Nationalism may mitigate negative effects of ethnic heterogeneity in former colonies.
