The compensation should be paid under two categories: economic loss and psychological loss, the study said. The sample size for the study was 800,000 Rohingya refugees. Based on the assets owned by refugees the study calculated that Rohingya refugees should get $165 million for the loss of land. The study found that the Rohingya refugees on an average owned two acres of land and three ponds per person. According to the study, Myanmar should pay US$2.1 billion as compensation for the trauma caused to the Rohingya refugees as a result of persecution in the country.
