Guided Variable Selection for Economic Forecasting with Explainable Meta-Learning(accepted)

Accepted for presentation at the XLIII Encuentro de Economistas – BCRP 2025 (PUCP, Sala de Audiencias). Session 20: Sesión metodológica. Wednesday, October 22, 10:45–12:15. Coauthored with Marco Vega (BCRP). The paper introduces a meta-learning framework for guided variable selection in large-scale macroeconomic forecasting, addressing extreme combinatorial search challenges with model-agnostic explainability.
