Nyarko, Y., & Olson, L. J. (1996). Optimal Growth with Unobservable Resources and Learning. Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 29(3), 465-491.
This paper examines the problem of choosing optimal resource consumption from an imperfectly observable aggregate capital, wealth, or resource stock with the decision-maker learns about over time.

We consider an aggregative model of intertemporal allocation under uncertainty, in which the utility and production functions are allowed to be time dependent, the random shocks occurring in each period are entirely arbitrary…
