Richard, Thank you for that elaboration-that makes perfect sense to me now.

To elaborate on my earlier message -- mlogit is basically 0 vs 2 and 
1 vs 2. But gologit2 is like 0 versus 1 and 2 followed by 0 and 1 
versus 2. With unconstrained models like this the fits are often 
identical or nearly identical, but the parameterizations are different.
