How reliable is Economists (and Econ research) from CATO Institute?

Just the title. I have heard about CATO institute when I was into 'climate skepticism' and all that conspiracy stuff, and CATO was a 'climate skeptic'. Today while listening to Economic Times podcast (Indian edition), the guest was an Economist called Swaminathan Aiyar, a guy from CATO institute but also associated with World Bank, and he was talking about India's new Budget where he was praising our governments' policies but called them a coward too because according to him, the government should be privatising more and more stuff.

How reliable are these guys?

They are an explicitly partisan (libertarian) think tank. So you can interpret any opinions from their staff through the lens of an active political agenda. They don’t do scholarly research so I’m not sure what else you need to know.
