I was doing a multinomial logistic regression and after running the
mlogit command I used the listcoef to get the estimates for all
combinations of outcome categories. But I only get two groups
comparisons. Please see the results below.

Make sure you have the latest and greatest versions of both Stata and spost9, the Long & Freese package that contains listcoef. On my computer, it is

. which listcoef, all

c:\ado\plus\l\listcoef.ado
*! version 1.9.3 2010-12-21 scott long

Maybe you have the version that appeared way back when in the Stata Technical Bulletin. If so, I would probably uninstall first and then install -spost9-.

Unfortunately, there are assorted old versions of Long and Freese commands still floating around at STB and SSC, e.g. listcoef, fitstat. Unless you have a really old version of Stata, ignore them and instead do

-findit spost9-
