Abstract: 
Si bien antes de los años 1990 ya había participación de grandes empresas minoristas en México, la llegada de empresas transnacionales, como Wal-Mart, generó una reconfiguración en la distribución de alimentos y, con ello, una expectativa del impacto directo sobre algunas variables del sector. Nuestro objetivo es determinar si la presencia de Wal-Mart implica una mayor productividad por trabajador. Para ello se construyó un modelo de probabilidad logística ordinal cuyos resultados a nivel municipal muestran una relación positiva y estadísticamente significativa, es decir, la probabilidad de encontrar un mayor nivel de productividad aumenta con una mayor presencia de dicha empresa.
Abstract (Translated): 
Although before the 1990s there was already participation of large retail companies in Mexico, the arrival of transnational companies, such as Wal-Mart, generated a reconfiguration in food distribution and, with this, an expectation of the direct impact on some sector variables. Our objective is to establish if Wal-Mart´s presence involves a higher productivity per worker. To achieve this goal, an ordinal logistic probability model was constructed and its results at municipal level show a positive and statistically significant relationship, that is, the probability of finding a higher level of productivity increases with a higher presence of the above company.
