The phrase "adaptive expectations" is correct and can be used in written English.
One example of its usage is in economics: "Economists use the concept of adaptive expectations to analyze how individuals and businesses adjust their behavior based on past experiences and future expectations of economic conditions."
He interprets his results in favor of adaptive expectations as the relevant mechanism affecting inflation policy.
We test predictions that distinguish this mechanism from both Bayesian learning and adaptive expectations, and find supportive evidence.
Now, you can add a bit more flexibility by making assumptions about expectations more complicated in ways that seem more realistic – adaptive expectations, regressive expectations, etc.
AS if anything, is an adaptive expectations augmented Phillips curve which matters only because of real interest rates, the monetary authority's response to inflation and debt deflation/inflation.
Furthermore, our analysis suggests that a model with "adaptive" expectations is preferred by the data relative to the version of the model with "rational" expectations.
We show that US consumer inflation expectations are formed using a variant of adaptive expectations proposed by Mankiw et al. (2004).
That led agricultural economist Mark Nerlove to introduced the notion of adaptive expectation (more appropriate to Humans) rather than rational expectation (that fit Econs).
In this paper, we propose an adaptive expectation maximization (EM) method based on the scaled t-distribution for B-spline estimation, where automation is achieved for the best approximation with the maximum probability density.
Thus, by constructing the service concept according to perceived consumer expectations, leveraging reputation was tightly connected to "adaptive expectation effects," another self-reinforcing mechanism of path dependence that drove the funeral homes' focus on regular customers (Sydow et al. 2009).
Prominent examples include coordination effects, i.e., "covering utility resulting from others following the same path" (Dobusch and Schüßler 2013: 623), and adaptive expectation effects, i.e., the development of expectations "in response to the expectations of others" (Sydow et al. 2009: 700).
That is, among other things, what textbook adaptive-expectations Phillips curves say should happen.
