Mapping original FIPS codes to temporally stable FIPS codes from IHME

Description

Counties change over time, which can make comparing across two different time periods difficult. Researchers often use temporally-stable FIPS designations to simplify comparing counties across long time periods. This dataframe comes from the appendix of Dwyer-Lindgren L, et al. US County-Level Trends in Mortality Rates for Major Causes of Death, 1980-2014. JAMA. 2016;316(22):2385–2401. doi:10.1001/jama.2016.13645
