We generalize 2-Wasserstein dependence coefficients to measure dependence between a finite number of random vectors. This generalization includes theoretical properties, and in particular focuses on an interpretation of maximal dependence and an asymptotic normality result for a proposed semi-parametric estimator under a Gaussian copula assumption. In addition, we discuss general axioms for dependence measures between multiple random vectors, other plausible normalizations, and various examples. Afterwards, we look into plug-in estimators based on penalized empirical covariance matrices in order to deal with high dimensionality issues and take possible marginal independencies into account by inducing (block) sparsity. The latter ideas are investigated via a simulation study, considering other dependence coefficients as well. We illustrate the use of the developed methods in two real data applications.
