- Deficit budgeting is the most commonly used approach in modern welfare states and developing economies.
- Budgets can also be classified as Revenue/Capital, Union/State, Ordinary/Emergency, Plan/Non-Plan (historical) and Development/Non-Development.
- Surplus and deficit budgets are used to influence aggregate demand in opposite directions.
