Wameq,

-outreg- (and probably -outreg2- and -estout-) don't handle marginal effects after -asclogit- because the results are saved in a very non-standard format.

-estat mfx-, which is only for use after -asclogit- saves the marginal effects in r() matrices named after the logit categories.

Things you can't do in -outreg- you can still do with a bit of work with -frmttable-, which is the formatting engine distributed with -outreg-.

The following code creates an -outreg- compatible table (which can be merged, etc.) showing the marginal effects with t-statistics below them and asterisks for significance.

First I calculate the marginal effects:

webuse choice, clear
asclogit choice dealer, case(id) alternatives(car) casevars(sex income)
estat mfx, at(sex=0 dealer=1)

Then I create a Stata matrix holding the marginal effects and t-stats (`b') and an indicator matrix for where the stars go (`stars', using the mata command).  These are passed to -frmttable- to create a Word table (or TeX table) with the results.

tempname b stars
loc ctitl `""","""'
forvalues i = 1/`e(k_alt)' {
	tempname b`i'
	mat `b`i'' = r(`e(alt`i')')
	mat `b' = (nullmat(`b'), `b`i''[.,1..1], `b`i''[.,3..3])
	mat `stars' = (nullmat(`stars'), `b`i''[.,4..4])
	loc ctitl `"`ctitl' ,`e(alt`i')'"'
}
mata: st_matrix("`stars'", (abs(st_matrix("`stars'")):<0.05) + ///
	(abs(st_matrix("`stars'")):<0.01))
frmttable using ascmfx, statmat(`b') substat(1)	///
	annotate(`stars') asymbol("*","**") ctitle(`ctitl') ///
	replace note("* p<0.05; ** p<0.01")

You could adapt this to report standard errors, p-values, or change the stars, etc. if you want.  
Here's the table:

                                                               (-2.95)   (1.96)   (1.14)
