Internally generated goodwill comes from the intangibles not recognized in the financial statements. This paper examines the impact of internally generated goodwill on financial performance of firms. Data are collected from Compustat database for twenty years from 1991 to 2010. The final sample consists of 84,515 firm-year observations. The empirical results indicate that the firms with positive internally generated goodwill have significant better liquidity, profitability, and leverage ratios than those with negative internally generated goodwill. The results also show that positive internally generated goodwill firms have a stronger price-earnings association than negative internally generated goodwill firms. The findings are useful for standard setters, government regulators, practitioners, analysts, and academics to understand internally generated goodwill.

In recent years there has been an enormous number of rural-urban migrants in China. In this study their social & economic status in destinations is studied based on a case study in Shanxi province of central China. Whilst rural-urban migration could bring the migrants out of the rural poverty, a key question is whether this will then bring them into urban poverty, from both social & economic viewpoints. A two-ended approach was used, namely, the studied migrants were followed from carefully sampled sending areas, so that their social & economic backgrounds were similar. The results show that rural-urban migrants in Shanxi are now generally in a position of urban poverty, & some key issues of improvements are then briefly discussed. Adapted from the source document.
