The Shapley value has been recently advocated as a method to choose the seed nodes for the process of information diffusion.

Although the above direction of research seems promising, the current liter- ature is missing a throughout assessment of its performance. The aim of this work is to provide such an assessment of the existing Shapley value-based approaches to information diffusion.
