Abstract Land resource misallocation is an important measure of local governments in guiding regional industrial development. Using the panel data of 281 Chinese cities of prefecture-level and above from 2003 to 2016, this paper empirically analyzes the impact of the extensive land resource allocation, which is characterized by low price and agreement transfer, on industrial agglomeration characteristics, and then investigates into its heterogeneity. The results show that the higher the proportion of construction land transfer by agreement, the lower the diversification of industrial agglomeration development. The impact of land resource misallocation on the diversification of industrial agglomeration shows significant regional differentiation, time difference and administrative difference. In the meantime, the greater degree of land resource misallocation is, the worse it is for the rational development of industrial structure. Therefore, the local government should implement the land transfer policy and optimize the land transfer structure according to local conditions so as to promote the diversification of China’s industrial agglomeration and the rational development of industrial structure
