Stochastic differential utility as the continuous-time limit of recursive utility

Holger Kraft; Frank Thomas Seifried

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.
