We provide analytical formulas for the correlation between powers of the components of the bivariate H & uuml;sler-Reiss vector, extend these to the case of the Brown-Resnick field, and thoroughly study the properties of the resulting dependence measure. The use of correlation is justified by spatial risk theory, while power transforms are insightful when taking correlation as dependence measure, and are moreover very suited damage functions for weather events such as wind extremes or floods. This makes our theoretical results worthwhile for, e.g., actuarial applications. We finally perform a case study involving insured losses from extreme wind speeds in Germany, and obtain valuable conclusions for the insurance industry.Physical SciencesBrown-Resnick Random FieldH & Uuml;Sler-Reiss Random VectorInsured Wind LossesPower Damage FunctionsReanalysis Wind Gust DataSpatial Dependencetext::journal::journal article::research article
