I have multiply-imputed data: the "SWIID" data, downloaded from http://myweb.uiowa.edu/fsolt/swiid/swiid.html. The data consist of country-year observations (173 countries, annually 1960 onwards). For each observation, there are 100 multiply-imputed estimates of "gini_net" (Gini coefficient of income inequality).
. use "swiidv4_0.dta", clear
(SWIID v4.0, Sept 2013. Refer to 'Using the SWIID.pdf' for usage instructions.)

Obs.: complete 0
incomplete 4,597 (M = 100 imputations)
---------------------
total 4,597
Vars.: imputed: 3; gini_net(4597) gini_market(4597) share1(3740)
passive: 1; redist(4597)
regular: 0
system: 1; _mi_miss
(there are 2 unregistered variables; country year)
I would like to derive MI estimates of gini_net for a particular year, say Denmark in 1989.
So, I proceed as follows:
. mi estimate: mean gini_net if country == "Denmark" & year == 1989
Multiple-imputation estimates Imputations = 100
Mean estimation Number of obs = 1
Average RVI = .
Largest FMI = .
Complete DF = 0
DF adjustment: Small sample DF: min = .
avg = .
Within VCE type: Analytic max = .
--------------------------------------------------------------
| Mean Std. Err. [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+------------------------------------------------
gini_net | 25.61606 . . .
--------------------------------------------------------------
The "Std. Err." estimate is missing -- why?
