Cubbin/Leech’s measure is calculated as \( P^* = Z_\alpha * \sqrt {\Pi \sum\nolimits_{i = 1}^{\rm N} {P_i^2 } } \) where P* is the share size needed for control, П the probability of exercising the vote, Pi the fraction of share hold by the individual i, N the number of shareholder excluding the largest. Zα is the critical value resulting of the standardization of Z = Y/σy and Y = Σ Ni=1 Xi where Xi is the sum votes by the shareholder i in favor of the largest shareholder (contra votes counting negative).

  39. Elliott [1972] uses a three-years-average, Stano [1976] a six-years-average; Holl [1977], Levin/Levin [1982], McEachern [1975], and Thonet/Poensgen [1979] extend the time period to ten years and Sorensen [1974] even uses 18 years. Chaganti/Damanpour [1991], Levin/Levin [1982], Sorensen [1974] and Thonet/-Poensgen [1979] use return on equity, return on assets and/or the market-to-book ratio as additional performance measures.
