Estimates of marginal variance-covariance matrices are available automatically when using the unofficial user-written postestimation command -xtmixed_corr- after -xtmixed-. Although this is not an official part of Stata 12, the -xtmixed_corr- command is written by one of StataCorp's developers and is available for free download from within Stata.
