Note that -mixlogit- is a user-written command which is available
from the SSC and described in
<http://www.stata-journal.com/article.html?article=st0133>.
Running the following command after -mixlogit- (on one line) will give
you the SE of the correlation:
nlcom (rho: [l21]_b[_cons]*[l11]_b[_cons] /
sqrt([l11]_b[_cons]*[l11]_b[_cons]*([l21]_b[_cons]*[l21]_b[_cons] +
[l22]_b[_cons]*[l22]_b[_cons])))
