The coefficients should be the same provided everything is IDENTICAL between
the two runs. My guess is that there is missing data involved somewhere.

Subject: st: subpopulation in the svy command
Dear all,
I need to estimate a svypossion model and I am only interested in a
subpopulation.
I was curious to see how the "subpop" command would affect my results
since
Stata Manual emphasized the importance of using "subpop" instead of
"in".
Therefore, I estimated two models, one with the "subpop" command, the
other
with the "if" command.
I was expecting to see different standard errors. However, I got
different
coefficients in addition to different variances.
Based on what I read from the manual, I got the impression that only
variances would be affected by using the "if" command.
Could the coefficients be different?
Thank you in advance for your help.
