Hi Eva,

I can't replicate this result - in the simple example below the mean
SE is very close to the SD of the beta (.1009669 vs .1009727) despite
the relatively small sample size (N=100):

Arne

set seed 12345

capture program drop simreg
program simreg, rclass
	version 9.2
	drop _all
	set obs 100
	gen x = invnorm(uniform())
	gen e = invnorm(uniform())
	gen y = x + e
	reg y x
	return scalar b = _b[x]
	return scalar se = _se[x]
end

qui simulate b=r(b) se=r(se), reps(5000): simreg

sum b se
