I read your question as follows:
I have two datasets, a and b. I want to analyse dataset a,
but it does not contain the variable expenditure, but this 
variable is present in dataset b. So, I want to impute 
expenditure in dataset a using information from dataset b.

Could you please clarify your question if this interpretation 
is not correct? Otherwise, continue reading for my remarks.

If I were to do such a thing, I would start by -append-ing 
the two datasents to form a single dataset, and than do 
multiple imputation. you can find resources on how to do that 
in Stata by typing in Stata -findit multiple imputation-.
