      abstract     = {Background Active citizen participation, especially as
                      collective prosumers in energy communities or as
                      individualprosumers, is vital for a sustainable energy
                      transition. As such, it is explicitly supported by European
                      Union policy. It isthe aim of policy-makers that a large
                      proportion of the residential energy demand will be met in
                      this way. At present,there is limited analysis on the
                      macroeconomic impacts of such an increase in prosumers. In
                      this study, we developand apply an approach for assessing
                      the macroeconomic impacts of transformation pathways, which
                      depict potentialdevelopments of individual and collective
                      prosumers.Results The paper methodologically demonstrates
                      how to macroeconomically assess scenarios and transformation
                      pathways originating from cross-impact balance analyses by
                      means of an input–output analysis. In particular,it is
                      shown how qualitative data on future developments can be
                      transformed into financial flows so as to enable
                      aninput–output analysis. Based on the assessment of two
                      transformation pathways, our main findings suggest thatthere
                      might be positive regional and national effects on net value
                      added and employment as well as reductions inCO2 emissions.
                      We find that the scale of the effects strongly depends on
                      the spatial distribution of heterogeneoushouseholds and the
                      underlying economic structure.Conclusions Our study
                      represents a methodological advancement by showing how
                      scenarios and transformationpathways can be assessed in
                      terms of their macroeconomic consequences. This study shows
                      that energy communities and individual prosumers might
                      generate positive effects on value added and on employment.
                      Given that households fix their energy supply options for
                      decades, political decisions to support the energy
                      transition in the residentialsector should be taken as soon
                      as possible.},
