Amortization expense for finite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $44 million, $49 million and $57 million, respectively. Intangible assets that have finite lives are tested for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Our intangible assets that have finite lives consisted of the following (in millions):
|  |  | December 31, 2016 |  | December 31, 2015
