We establish a convergence theorem that shows that discrete-time recursive utility, as developed by Kreps and Porteus (1978), converges to stochastic differential utility, as introduced by Duffie and Epstein (1992), in the continuous-time limit of vanishing grid size.

In a fully general semimartingale setting, this article establishes existence, uniqueness, monotonicity, concavity, and a utility gradient inequality for continuous-time recursive utility in the Epstein-Zin parametrization with relative risk aversion $\gamma$ and elasticity of intertemporal...
