   3 corrections applied: 'Ward Jenkins and Ward Ward' is a garbled rendering of Jenkins & Ward (1965): Harold M. Jenkins and William C. Ward | The efficient market hypothesis was developed by Eugene Fama; Black and Scholes developed the option-pricing model, not the EMH | Grove & Meehl (1996) appeared in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, as the article's own reference list states

   Before

   elaborated by Ward Jenkins and Ward Ward in the 1960s / Fischer Black and Myron Scholes efficient market framework... / in a 1996 meta-analysis in Psychological Science

   After

   elaborated by Harold Jenkins and William Ward in the 1960s / Eugene Famas efficient market framework... / in a 1996 meta-analysis in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law

   Why: Verified live content, bibliography, FAQ, and excerpt already correctly reflect all three fixes (Harold Jenkins/William Ward, Eugene Fama, correct journal for Grove & Meehl 1996). No action needed.
