This article proposes different methods to consistently detect multiple breaks in copula-based dependence measures. Starting with the classical binary segmentation, also the more recent wild binary segmentation (WBS) is considered. For binary segmentation, consistency of the estimators for the location of the breakpoints as well as the number of breaks is proved, taking filtering effects from AR-GARCH models explicitly into account. Monte Carlo simulations based on a factor copula as well as on a Clayton copula model illustrate the strengths and limitations of the procedures. A real data application on recent Euro Stoxx 50 data reveals some interpretable breaks in the dependence structure.
