Subject   st: Micombine Logit and Logit for Multiple Imputations

Hi everyone.  I am having difficulty with my imputed data set and
standard errors.  I conducted multiple imputations (10) using ICE due
to the level of missing data.  I get vastly different standard errors
when using the command -- for varlist x1 x2 x3: logit y X -- compared
to when using the command -- for varlist x1 x2 x3: micombine logit y
X.  When using "micombine logit" the standard errors are much bigger.
The standard errors should be approximate to each other, but they are
not.

I am not sure why I am encountering this problem.  I am working with
STATA 10.1.  Any helpful input or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
An example with women is below.  Using "logit" the s.e. is 0.104 --
increasing to 0.358 when using the "micombine logit" command.
