At last, I had to use 'writetable' to write a .csv file and eventually import that file in Excel for Mac. I understand that there is no solution to this problem because Matlab is unable to start Excel on a Mac. Considering that I have a 2014b release this is not conforting. I wonder if writing an .xls file does really need the Excel start or if a file can be produce out of Excel.

It is my understanding that using xlswrite on a Mac will just try to create a csv file with whatever stata you are trying to write to file. I've observed this with R2014a on OS X 10.8.5.
The File Exchange does have something that may work for you. See Marin Deresco's submission at http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/37560-xlwrite---export-data-to-excel-from-matlab-on-mac-win. However, it does require you to download some additional Java libraries.

It does work. However, xlwrite lacks one property of the old xlswrite function that it can't specify the region that it writes into.
