To explore the relationship between digital transformation and resource misallocation in agricultural enterprises, based on data from Chinese A-share listed companies from 2012 to 2022, a panel data model is employed to examine the impact and mechanism of digital transformation on resource mismatch in agricultural enterprises. The show that: The impact of digital transformation on the mismatch of investment and financing terms exhibits an inverted U-shaped pattern of first exacerbating and then improving. Its impact on labor mismatch has consistently shown significant improvement effect. The results of mechanism test indicate that digital transformation alleviates the mismatch of investment and financing terms by alleviating financing constraints, and alleviates labor mismatch by promoting labor mobility. Precise decision-making by entrepreneurs plays a strengthening role in improving resource mismatch in digital transformation. Further analysis reveals that digital transformation has a significant inverted U-shaped impact on the mismatch of investment and financing periods in state-owned enterprises, while it has no significant impact on non-state-owned enterprises. The improvement effect on labor mismatch in state-owned enterprises is significantly higher than that in non-state-owned enterprises.
